Power Meters / Powermeters (SRM, Powertap, Quarq, Ergomo, Vector, Stages, power2max, P2M, 4iii, InPower, Cinch)

Where is this chart from? WKO+? I can't get Training Peaks to show a critical power curve so use golden cheetah instead.

Very interesting. I have funny feet, right foot has a high arch and left low. I can go a month being perfectly happy with the custom insole setup I have now with no pain, then all of a sudden I will get arch pain, so I will change the arch to a different setting, pain goes away and I'll be happy for a month again. Fast forward another month and it will happen again and I switch back. Really quite bizarre. Maybe it's just environmental factors.

My forerunner 920xt came with a shit ton of New data. All of which inspires the reaction 'feck thats Incredible! .........What in the world do I use that for?'

Its all fancey pants, pointless, bollocks...........untill you pick up an injury. Then you find yourself data mining like a maniac. Using whatever data you can to speed recovery.

Sounds like none of Your set-ups are working 100%. But by rotating them you move the resultant stress point around. So you get to start a fresh each month untill that stress point developes into a niggle.

The question is, if you had the Vectors, and they showed a change in the foots pressure across the spindle, during the month. Would be which comes first. The niggle, or the change in pressure.'

Makes sense. Thanks doc

It's not CP, it's just a plot with (as far as I can tell) your most recent 20 minute power taken as your FTP.

It's from Strava.

M.Eng actually. But On the internet we only Limited by Our dreams. Not Our titles.......^logs back on to Tinder as as NaughtyNightNurse^

Its a classic situation amongst runners like me. That own several different pairs of running shoes.

My powercurve on strava is fecked. I forgot to calibrate my garmin to my PM. So it contains a few 2500w sprints.

Pick one measuring system. And one interpretation/analysis system.
Use that.
Possibly the one with the best (most scientific and peer reviewed) methodology.

Thats why I posted a training peaks curve.

Strava is just social media for competitive types, to me. 2 mins ago is the first time I've looked at its Power curve.

20 minute power on turbo vs 20 minute power on road, and the road power will be higher than the turbo theory.

Is this true for everyone? I did a test on the turbo a couple of weeks back, and again on the road last night, and the results are within 2 watts of one another. HR data was absolutely identical both times, so I didn't leave anything behind.

Kind of disappointing (for willy waving purposes), but I suppose it'll help toward pacing TTs.

still same FTP .. meh .. can we ban @TTM ?

When was your last test?
What training are you doing to increase it?

Learn to love over/unders, they are your friend.

6 months ago; trained for and raced .. was alright slight improvement from 3.5 to 3.6 w/kg but was hoping more

yeah I know I was jk loling .. will keep the working. Going back home for holidays for 3 weeks with no access to bikes in mi March. I am going to run everyday and hope dont lose the mojo just before summer.

That's odd. Different levels of fatigue?

Here's a 17 yo doing 432 watts @ 6.5 w/kg for 13 minutes

That's bloody impressive.

Hah I can barely do that for 30 seconds

Demoralising.

Don't think so. I put it all out both times, so perceived effort was similar, as was HR.

^^^^^ What's impressive to me isn't the 432w, it's the 6.5w/kg!

He needs a steeper segment.

According to my CP chart for this year, I can only do that for 31 seconds. If I include last years data too, the best I've been able to hold that power for is 58seconds... not even a minute. Oh, and I'm heavier than him.

This thread sucks.

Two minutes and sixteen seconds, and I weigh more than the Death Star.
