"What we want in the race with a Power Meter?"This question was recently put in a cycling forum ( tour of the Forum magazine ). This question is common. It suggests, in the race to play the power measurement not matter anyway because you can only drive what you own on the performance ago was able.
This last statement is true, of course. In most races you go for tactical reasons, as long as possible with as little effort as possible and when it is needed, is driven with as much pressure as necessary, for example, to remain on the mountain in the field or go with a breakaway .
However, it is recognized that the performance in the race to the most important of all are:
- DC, first a small counter to the top: to power data be useful to start such as time trials not too strong in the race. The pacing in the time trial is usually a problem, since one is fully motivated at the start, rested and therefore is not noticed in the first kilometers, that one actually goes about his relationship, which regularly takes revenge on the second half line.
Correspondingly, the same applies on long hills.
The power meter, therefore, also race in its place, however, have particularly in those with the longer sections with uniform, high performance. - But more important is the fact that, thanks to the power-data's own driving style, your own weaknesses and strengths may also, as well as the requirements that are placed on a race can be traced in detail.
- This may be myths about these weaknesses and strengths identified. These weaknesses can be eliminated specifically in the following training and strengths.
- example
the criterion you will usually not suspended, because it is easily strong enough. It will be suspended, because the various sprints have tired and recovery ability was not strong enough. In plain language this means that the endurance is poor. So training for the improvement of FTP are announced. The following offer themselves: - Classic 20-minute intervals, such as 2x20 minutes with 100% FTP (10 minutes easy drive between them), maybe even 3x10 minutes with 105% FTP (5 to 10 minutes, stirring Ride in between).
This bread-and-butter-FTP-training will be positive in all bicycle races is longer than three minutes. - order to train for something specific criteria are also training possible:
- 45 minutes with 90% FTP, all of five minutes maximum sprint over 10 seconds, try for the sprint to find the 90% pace too quickly.
- switching training - for example, 30 seconds on - 30 seconds off each with about 130 to 160% for on FTP, \u0026lt;50% off, all for 20 minutes and two blocks total of 20 minutes 10 minutes break in between:
- enter 10 minutes
- 20 by 30 "on, 30 off (= 20 minutes)
- exit 10 minute break
- 20 by 30" on, 30 off (= 20 minutes)
- 10 minutes total 70 minutes
- Other weaknesses in races can be identified similar, for example, the weakness of being able to keep up with rapidly driven increases of about 3 minutes. In the case would force themselves on the L5-intervals. This maybe later more.
