Out of interest, how do people’s 5 min power relate to their 10 min power.

Best I’ve ever done is 385 for 5 mins (turbo), but was looking back over my numbers and I have done 365 for over 10 mins (outside). Is this a inside vs outside thing? Or is it not unusual for 10 min power to be close to 5 min?

I don't know what power curves are usually like but I have been wondering if I should do some more work on my 5 min power. Best for 20 mins is 361w but my best 5 mins is only 393w. This is at 83kg btw, so I'm not going to be doing competitive hillclimbs.

“only 393w” 🤣

I will definitely hold my hands up and say I avoid Vo2 work like the plague. I hate it. My 5 min just seems low compared to 10. Not that it really matters, I just thought it vaguely interesting.
