Cycling Analytics users can see all this data for all times between one second and two hours with a chart like the one below, and a few more things, so create an account if you want to see more. It’s one thing to say you have an impressive FTP, but it’s something else to demonstrate it, so let’s now look at the best power outputs that Cycling Analytics users have sustained for various durations. There is less resolution for this data because there are a lot more males than females that use Cycling Analytics.
Like with the men, not many women say they have a 190W FTP when it could be 200W instead. % of people have an FTP between W/kg and W/kg.% of people have an FTP of W/kg or more.Where do you fit in? Enter your FTP: W/kg This data is smoother because the peaks caused by the round numbers in reported FTP and weight smooth each other out. % of people have an FTP between W and W.There’s also a spike at 250W because it’s a nice round number that’s very close to the average FTP. Just like 5‘11” males on dating sites, it looks like a lot of guys don’t want to admit that they have an FTP of 190W or 290W when it could be 200W or 300W instead. All the data below and more is shown to Cycling Analytics users in interactive charts on the athlete statistics page, so consider creating an account if this is interesting. FTP, or functional threshold power, is nominally the power output that can be sustained for one hour. What people say their FTP isįirstly, let’s look at what people say their FTP is. All the data here comes from people with power meters, and about half of Cycling Analytics users race regularly. The best term that I can think of is that Cycling Analytics users are “serious cyclists”.
It’s worth saying a few words about Cycling Analytics users, because they aren’t a perfectly random sampling of cyclists or people overall. Be prepared to see a lot of charts and tables and numbers. All data is shown for males and females in watts and watts per kilogram. In this post, we’ll look at what people say their FTP is, and then look at the best efforts that people have actually achieved for a handful of durations. This post should answer some of those questions based on data from thousands of people who have used Cycling Analytics. It’s common to be curious about how your power output or FTP compares with other people, or to wonder what counts as “normal”. How does your cycling power output compare? 7 June, 2018 by David Johnstone
