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 ChartД¬hart 3 also has the вЂheat curveвЂ™ turned on вЂ“ the smaller lightly coloured вЂpeakyвЂ™ 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.

HereвЂ™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 thatвЂ™s the basic version of the chart. It doesnвЂ™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 donвЂ™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 youвЂ™ll be going faster and it wonвЂ™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.

But JUST for the current session, the horizontalish red line, shows that she was working more in Zones 3 &4 вЂ“ well at least not in Zones 5 and above.

If we extended the boundary of those two zones upwards until it met the dotted blue line then we would find that the dotted blue line would predict thatВ she could, in fact, achieve something more like 350w for the same duration.

CHART 1: Golden Cheetah CP Plot Curve ChartД¬hart 1: Shows the вЂbasicвЂ™ chart! so for this athlete Something like these 3 charts for 3 different athletes, in fact. for the statisticians amongst you it is derived from mean-max data from your rides. Essentially this lumps together ALL your best ever rides over a given time period and shows your all your best performances as a single curve of вЂbest watts held for each time durationвЂ™. One of the most useful analyses is the CP Plot вЂ“ the Critical Power Plot. Even if itвЂ™s not for you to use 100% of the time it would be GREAT to use alongside Garmin Connect or SportTracks for times when you want to analyse YOU a bit more. It probably has too much for most of us to use as our standard tool but it hasВ all that a super-keen data-monger would ever need.

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