TrainingPeaks NP discrepancies?

Triathlon Forum

Has anyone that uses TrainingPeaks noticed any NP discrepancies lately? Just this week I’ve noticed some issues where the AP vs. NP especially given the ride does not make sense. I had one athlete with a NP that yielded a VI of .99 for a hard 100k group ride. I could simply look at the chart and tell you it was wrong. Also personally I’ve noticed that just this week my files from Garmin connect and TP don’t match. The AP is the same but the NP is way off. Everything prior to this week has been correct (or at least matched).

I’ve filed a ticket with TP to see if it is an issue on their end. Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

(edit: It goes without saying that I always use Zero included AP and have all my athletes do the same)

I just looked at my last week of rides and AP/NP/VI all seem correct in TrainingPeaks.

I’m starting to think it may have been caused by recently updating the Garmin’s. Garmin Connect, TP and WKO+ are all spitting out different numbers. The numbers in WKO+ look correct though.

Does that athlete have smart recording turned on? That would throw things off and the setting gets reset after device updates and/or hard resets.
