Today's Friday ride was a good one. I felt good throughout and tried to ride "off the front" or just ahead of the pack so as not to draft.

George, you really shouldn't be looking at NP for a 5 minute effort, or at least not basing a "PR" off of it.
ReplyDeleteSteve, I'm curious to hear why not. On Coggan's power profile chart it shows 5 sec, 1 min, 5 min, and FT. And they also point out that NP is what you would have done if the surging was smoothed out (very simple explanation). As an Ultra cyclist my power numbers will never be all that high so maybe I was trying to brag a little ;)
ReplyDeleteAnyway I have always valued your insight and opinion. Let me hear your thoughts.
