[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's the algorithm.  Each time Peloton does an update something changes with the output scores. It happened last year too and people were complaining about it on the Peloton facebook groups. It's unlikely your fitness ability has changed--something with the scoring changed. I've experienced it too. There's no way I can even reach my PRs from over a year ago and nothing has changed in my frequency and use of the bike. I just try not to think about it and just ride my bike (as Denis Morton says)[/quote]

This is helpful, thanks!  I don't especially care about the numbers but good to know it's not that I've gotten so much weaker!

Honestly I think PP is wrong. I think it is just you are not maximizing your peloton riding. I am in basically the exact same boat. But a year ago I was doing all kinds of power zone training and biking optimization and really putting my all into nothing but the bike. These days I am doing a lot more strength and cross training and yeah I cannot touch those numbers but it isn't because my overall fitness has declined, I am just no longer maximally optimized for peloton output. I have shoulder muscles and am working different parts of my legs with the other activities.

I actually fully believe I could get back to those PRs if I put all my effort into it again. But have decided its probably better for my overall health to be more well rounded. [/quote]
