Since getting my PM I've had my FT set at 300 watts since I had come off a good break and was fitness was down. I didn't have any real indication that I should raise it until last weekend, where I had some good short term numbers from a crit/circuit race. Unfortunately, it wasn't hard enough for the entirety of the race to get a good 60min NP that might approximate FT. But, after the critical power talk around here lately, I cherry picked some values from that race to make up a critical power curve. I used these values:
2-min AP: 380
5-min AP: 335
10-min NP: 322
Obviously using NP for the 10 minute entry isn't the most precise, but it's all I had. This ended up coming out with:
r^2: 1
FT: 310
AWC: 134
So, given the r^2, should I have a lot of confidence in these results? Or should I wait until I can do more formal testing? (I've been lazy for the past few weeks). Also, how pitiful an AWC is this?
