Although these 1 minuters could possibly have been warm up efforts. In this case she has had 7 sessions at the one minute mark. This shows the number of activities at each power-duration. Chart 3: Golden Cheetah CP Plot Curve ChartĬhart 3 also has the ‘heat curve’ turned on – the smaller lightly coloured ‘peaky’ curve at the bottom.

If, for example, you performed a well-executed series of 5 minute intervals at the same power you would expect to see the centiles close together. So her 90% of ride-best, 80% of ride best, 70% of ride-best (and so on)power curve are shown as dotted lines. Here the RIDE-CENTILE analysis is turned on. This final chart shows some more juicy detail. Perhaps this session was a few 10 minute intervals with some slightly slacked off 1 minute efforts as a teaser?
Here this athlete achieved about 83% of his best power output for the 10 minute duration and about 80% for his 50 second duration. Here’s another addition where the current session is looked at in terms of the %age of best Chart 2: Golden Cheetah CP Plot Curve Chart Well that’s the basic version of the chart. It doesn’t say that you SHOULD train at those power-durations but I generally follow the rule that differing stimuli in training are good. Those are power-durations that you don’t train at. You could look at the gaps between the CP curve and the blue line and train to fill those gaps. Set your cycling computer to beep at 406watts (or whatever it is) and off you go. You could look at the blue line and try to limit your power to the power that the blue line predicts you can hold for 105 seconds or maybe 100 seconds as you’ll be going faster and it won’t take 105 seconds, right? The same would apply on the flat. You might know that your favourite hill is 105 seconds long. So what? Well there is a predictive element to all of this.

ie a lot of analysis (Did I say it was free ? ) Like all good cycling rules it will analyse it to the N+1th degree – where N is a very large number.
