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

Ta. Suppose I should just give the free version a try.

It literally wont cost you anything...

Except your soul.

It's ok, I sign up for most things with a unique email address so they only get a tiny piece of my soul.

TP does allow you to plot workouts in advance, and will generate CTL/ATL/TSB curves based on that data, so you could enter the next months workouts (say) and see just how knackered you are going to be in April.

License codes for the WKO+ demo are allegedly quite easy to generate. So I've heard.

If your values are right, which in your case is highly unlikely :P

That's like stealing dude, and buddha would be like totally against that shit man.

I'm well aware. My post started...

TP free

...what it will and won't do.

I was just testing it till WKO4 came out.

Invest in premium TP. Its very well suited to the 'multi athlete'.

Its pretty limited...

Last FTP was at the start winter miles in November. At the end of winter miles (180hours at average Z3) today FTP showed 18% gain Better pacing balanced by not being completely fresh. Calculation is 20 minute average power x 0.95? How are people posting TP curves?

TP curves

You mean critical power curves?

In training peaks, add the chart called "Peak power" to your dashboard.

In Golden Cheetah it's called the "CP" chart, or if you go to add chart, it's listed as "Critical Mean Maximals".

I have it on training peaks just wondered how people were displaying them on here?

Is TP (free) worth using for those of us not using power meters? Most of my training is running but with cycling mixed in. Currently use Garmin Connect and Strava, will TP give me any more worthwhile stuff? Figured this was the best place to ask.

Free, not so much. It'll let you look back at data for your runs like any others apps/software.

Premium gives you a diary to plot workouts and assosiated training load, fitness and form. I use it for cycling using only hrTSS and it's does everything I want. You need to understand your hr zones (and understand it's fairly useless as a metric for short, more anaerobic stuff). My running is only about 10k a week so I don't record it.

I think Premium would be good for running, especially if you do a lot and would like a more planned progression.

If you have a Fenix II do bear in mind that if you cycle to the cafe to meet your club and pause it you will need to re-acquire the powermeter/any other sensors before you set off again, or you will only have data on the ride to the fucking cafe, not the bit afterward.

If anyone knows a dog that wants cheap power;

I need adventures.

Because idiot, I had to update my Garmin 800 firmware and have lost the ability to turn auto-zero off for my fixed Powertap.

A long while back, someone, hippy maybe posted a link to the file and a method for rolling it back. Anyone have it?
