40kph on a 5.1% gradient for 1.5km thats 548W for 2:10 after 6hrs of racing.:o

I don't know if these segments are always that accurate, especially in terms of gradients?

Maybe it wasn't a constant gradient climb? You can also see the speed varies.

 

Me to but, 75m vert divided by 1500m length multiply by 100 = 5% gradient.

 

Edit: just looked climb is fairly constant and device used to record was a Pioneer power meter.

Did you mean to reply to the gradient comment on the segment?

 

Re. the inconsistent power, an average 5% climb might have 2%, then 8%, etcetera, which could cause the uneven power and speed.

 

Edit. Check the speed, especially from halfway. It's between 20 - 40km/h which in my mind means quite an uneven gradient. Otherwise he was doing intervals!

How to go about training during the week if the following 3 weekends I have 4 races coming up?

 

Wanted to ride easier this am, but still going hard on the climbs.

Just been looking at one of the XC pro's interval sessions who lives in my area.

 

First interval of the ride 10mins at 466w. :blink: Followed by 2 more 10min's and then 3 4min intervals the last one being at an avg of 452w with a final kick of over a 1000w on a 18% climb. :eek:

 

Now I know why I get my A$$ kicked by 10min's. :(

 

Nice illustration

I have flashes of El Nino as he clapped the XC field for 3 races in a row.

Please help gurus! How do I calculate weekly IF from individual IFs?

 

 

Also wondering if it just a standard average i.e. add them together and divide by the number of 'instances'?

I'm using the plebs Training Peaks account (free one) and it gives weekly TSS but not IF. Only for individual activities. Last week - 530.1 easy week. This week will be big.

I would think that it is nothing more than that, however on GC it gives the week summary

How do you get a weekly TSS/IF report from GC?

 

Go to trends at the top, you should be on summary page, then just click on the left panel to view, this week/last 7 days etc.

 

Then on the far right it would have a little summary for whatever time frame you have selected

That's what I do, :ph34r: Can someone with GC add up their weekly IF and divide by the number of rides and compare to their summary IF.

Two rides so far this week

 

IF 0.726

IF 0.886

avg 0.806

 

GC gives 0.819 for this week

 

Let me see after total week with a bit more rides.

 

Im sure its a rounding thing as TSS for rides were 55 and 115 = 170, however in summary says TSS 171
