I have read a lot of about the Coggan Power Profile being a poor predictor of actual results. I thought I might start a thread where we can post our own results of our power profile test. 5 sec, 1 min, 5 min, 20 and 60 min. Pure power numbers, not power to weight. I think that power to weight has its place, but doesn't do justice to flat races and crits.
Please be honest!!
Forgive me if this has been done already, I did a search and all I could find was a thread on LT power.
What to post:
Age:
Category:
Weight in pounds:
Years you have been training seriously: (yes that is subjective)
Avg weekly training hours:
Best power in
5 sec:
1 min:
5 min: normalized and standard power
20 min: normalized and standard power
60 min: normalized and standard power
To get things started here are my numbers.
Age: 30
Category: 3 (first year)
Weight in pounds: 193
Years training: 3
Avg Weekly Training hours: 8.5
Best power in
5 sec: 1437
1 min: 702
5 min: 566, 522 NP
20 min: 374, 414 NP
60 min: 308, 330 NP
In cycling peaks I am a high cat 4 for 5 sec, high cat 4 for 1 min, middle cat 2 for 5 min, and low cat 4 for 60 min. Probably because of weight issues. I don't do well in hilly races, of course. In crits I am consistently in the top 5 in cat 3 races...well most of the time. I have no idea if these numbers are good bad or in between. Any info you can provide is helpful.
Shiny side down...
Thanks
