Highest power output?? - Page 4

I have read that a bunch of times. Just read it again. I wonder what its like to have 3 hours to do 3 sets. Its a good read though. Did you notice where they use film to get angles right on thier weight training to replicate cycling. Also Shane Kelly being able to race road and the medal in the Kilo. BTW I figured out how to extract , 5 sec, 1 min etc off PT Thanks again Frenchi

Damn this thread! Making me want to get a powertap again.

Patience velomanct! You will get a powertap once you go well above last years best speeds!


I have heard stories of a sprinter that I know, who broke spokes on his Kysrium wheel while sprinting up an 11% .25 mile hill in his big ring. I tried that hill yesterday in my big ring, and gave up about half way because I was tired. I can conclude that this rider was averaging at least 1400watts for about 30 seconds. He looks more like a bodybuilder than a cyclist.

Is everyone using average power or normalized power for your efforts > 30 seconds? I am wondering what is more appropriate when using the Power Profiling spreadsheet?

Most certainly real average power. I have had a normalized power of over 1000w for a minute, but I'm no where near Tournant! (sprint, coast, sprint, coast)

I wouldn't use normalized power for anything under 10 minutes. Even longer durations can be misleading. (I've done crits with NP near 400, way above my LT)
