Hi Guys
After 2 months of just riding to get fit to train I've finally decided to sort my training program and do a MAP test and the like.
I set up an Imagic Route which used increments in power from 100watts and increases every 30 second by 10 watts. This was the minimum granularity I could get from the IMagic Editor.
Q1: Should I be using the Power session type? or should I use a constant grade and simply ride faster myself.
Anyway, I got on the bike and did a quick warm up... I just wanted to check that things would work ok before doing the MAP in a couple of days so did a quick test map.
I started the test MAP.
When I hit 360 watts the power leveled off, even though the Imagic was saying it was upping the power... this went on for about a minute/minute and a half... and 360watts aint easy ... so I decided not to stick around to see what happend next... and cooled down.
The imagic should have gone up ~30 watts but i had no increase.
Im sure my back wheel wasnt slipping... its as if the imagic wasnt compensating enough.
A bit of a bugger really, Im wondering if anyone has any experience with this, or how I could get around it.
Thanks in advance
Chris
Ive attached a pic of the PT file.
