@Spragg_Perform Unfortunately not.
iLevels are based on the last 90day mFTP/FRC
You cannot ajust to custom values. However you can broaden the range in the W'Bal model, for instance to the last 365days to adjust based on the mFTP over the last year.

@JeanMontagne @RickFransen @thijszonneveld Dat zeker! Maar bijvoorbeeld 200w steady, of minuut 400w en minuut 0w, is beide na 1uur het zelfde aantal kj. Eigenlijk kijken naar 'high intensity KJ' oid

A reminder - be careful when interpreting w/kg values that have been derived from VAM. Here is the correlation between measured W/kg (power meter) and W/kg derived from VAM (as per Ferrari formula)

@Spragg_Coaching @StefRogier @PremEndurance In fact it never reaches the y axis (asymptote), however CP is not a ‘infinite’ doable power offcourse
