Your max 5sec,1min and 5min power?

[EugeneP]

Just out of interest's sake, what is your max 5sec, 1min and 5min power? And of course your weight... My max 5sec is 1103watts, 1min is 695watts and 5min is 357watts. I weigh 65kg's

That's one serious Hi-Fi you got there. Hope your neighbours don't mind but they shouldn't as you only use 1100 watts for 5 sec

Those are impressive numbers Eugene!

 

Not sure this is hugely relevant to anything as it introduces all sorts of variables, including how you measured power.  For interest sake, I weigh 76kg and my numbers are:

 

5 sec 1155

1 min 620

5 min 412

 

More interesting for me is 20 min where I am 346w.  These numbers are actual power, not normalised (which affects the 5min and 20min levels).  Mine are measured on an Ergomo (ie at the crank).

 

For me it is all about your relative performance over a training period and using the power meter to train effectively on a ride.
