Garmin coach training power levels seems low

Hi

I m using garmin training coaches to train, but I'm wondering if the power levels are in sync.

My FTP is 285W.

There are a lot of base training targetting 140 W & 170W, but especially even tempo training are only centered around 210W, and theshold training aound 245W.

I would expect intervals targetting threshold to be at least around my FTP.

I'm wondering if there would be a issue somewhere.

Would you ve able to advise?

thx

    did You set your FTP by your own manually or the Edge calculated it by itself from your previous rides? probably the Garmin Coach is using its own data (which predict a ~255W FTP) and not using the manually written FTP value (it is my theory)

    Hi, 

    Thx for your answer. I had actually set my ftp manually to avoid issues, as it would detect incorrect value if I would not do an "FTP like" test for a while.
    I do note that when I go with the app in the GPS menu, sometimes FTP and power level are all empty, and they come up later, a little bit weird.

    Anybody from Garmin here to clarify how this is done ?

    Thx
