I too may have got this wrong but Andys tables are for 5 sec, 1 min, 5 min and 20 min. That is the highest average power you can achieve at each time. I gather that 5% less than the 20 min power is about what you could do for 1 hour. I think Andy Coggan believes that this will correspond to lactate threshold

Since people were confusing 20 min power with "functional threshold power", I revised the tables to base the last column strictly on the latter. You can download the latest version from www.cyclingpeakssoftware.com/profile.html.

As the 5% rule-of-thumb, I don't subscribe to it, or at least don't advocate its use. The problem is that people begin to view that factor as written in stone, when in fact there can be considerable interindividual variability.

i knew i'd fogotten to mention something in my brief reply! Right, back to my other work now!

thanks for the corretions
