Indoor→Outdoor Translation is the protocol the Athlete executes when an indoor training block ends and outdoor performance begins. Indoor sessions produce controlled, repeatable mechanical work; outdoor sessions add wind, surface, group dynamics, and pacing variability. Protocol 15 computes a Translation Factor from the Athlete’s indoor True Normal and the target outdoor event (race, gran fondo, group ride), then dispatches a 3–5 ride re-entry sequence. The Factor is not a multiplier on watts; it is a redistribution of pacing, effort distribution, and neuromuscular priming. The Athlete who finishes Protocol 15 has an outdoor fitness they have actually executed, not an indoor fitness extrapolated to a road.

Protocols: Protocol 15 — Indoor→Outdoor Translation; Protocol 10 — Adaptive Workout

The metric traverses the closed loop: Intent is the .zwo prescription the system computed against the Athlete’s True Normal. Telemetry is the .fit recording of the executed session. Adaptation is the longitudinal movement of the metric itself, logged against the True Normal and feeding back into the next day’s prescription via Protocol 10 (Adaptive Workout).
