Show us your Power Stats .......

PPO? peak power output? and lactic threshold. I am not dissing the test I have done many. The point was in reference to the watts per kg and the 20min test, also the table that was provided. I still maintain that the test would need to be done as a time trial and the average watts used if you want to compare yourself to elite athletes.

 

Yes Peak Power and Threshold. I agree with what you say but I just wanted to say that the test does not only predecit V02, there alot of other parameters its produces. 20min test is good but alot of the time your PPO/V02 test is close to 15-20min in length on average so the numbers are there regardless if you go and hammer a 20min hill for FTP and then x by 95%. Often numbers are the same.

In all of this is the weight of the bike etc added in?

 

never used a powermeter but might try it.

92kg 1.87m: 2h56 Argus with the first B's. Basically just had to focus at Edinburgh, Chappies and Suikerbossie.

Avg HR 156. Max speed only 69 kmph.

 

The weight and 11-tooth was a big advantage closing the gaps going down Smiths and Suikerbossie. ;-)

The rest as they say was a breeze!

 

well done ......

 

my arverage heart rate was seriously high and i also ride an 11 tooth but goes all the way up to a 28 tooth ...... still did not help me to get up chappies with the group;

Usually W/kg figures are quoted in terms of body weight only.

 

If you want to compare predicted climbing speeds and so on, you'd need to use total weight (including bike etc.)

@BrownArran: SRM:for interest sake,when I jumped across to the break just before Suikerbossie during Cape Argus-1min power was 11.44 watts/kg(860 watts).

 

For interest sake: That was then followed by a 7min effort up Suikerbossie at (446 watts) right after that

 

I grinched just reading that.

Gutsy stuff that.

 

My theory is that his SRM is broken but that is just me...heheheh

Jip.....I know that table all too well.

I can do the 5min and 20min stuff up to "Very good" i.e. Cat 2 stuff.

The 1min stuf I barely make Cat5 "Fair"

Ouch!!!

 

Fortunately I don't get paid to ride a bike otherwise I would have had to revert back to Jigelo freelancing.
