Default PowerLink software

I see there is a new version of the powerlink software on the CycleOps site. The screenshots look good.

Do you have to buy t or is the link just dead.....?

the new software isn't available yet, and you will have to pay for it (when it's available, if you want it!).

Ric,
I see that they are using some similar terminology to yours but presumably mean different things.

MAP Maximum Average Power??

Sorry Ric,
The powerlink software is using MAP as a training guide. But it is Max Av Power.
You use Max Aerobic Power. Are you both on the same wavelength or do you mean two totally different things?

Thanks

unfortunately, that's an issue that occurs frequently with many varied things. however, some metrics do have specific meanings (although some people missuse the term horribly) e.g., lactate threshold, strength, efficiency, etc.

if you need any advice on deciphering what certain terms may mean please feel free to ask.
