That'd be at anaerobic threshold so, yes, what he can put out for about an hour.. when last tested my power at threshold was 390w and my weight was 79kg giving me a figure of 4.94 watts/kg.. hopefully I've gained a bit of power and weight target for my race this year at beginning of September is 76-77kg so I should be over the 5 mark.. still got some catching up to do!
How do you calculate that?

Cleaner riders having to measure their efforts more sensibly over the whole race responsible for a less exciting "elan and panache" devoid race? I for one don't think it was boring but I'd certainly prefer a bit less excitement than dope fuelled heroics any day.
Ok, my average is 3.96 watts/kg... is that good? Bad? Needs improving no doubt...
Mind, my last lactate treshold test was before the beginning of the season, mid March, so I expect it to have improved a bit now
There's so much more to 'elan and panache' that simply riding a bicycle quickly. That's like saying skiffle is just about the washboard :closed:

According to this chart that is "very good".Ok, my average is 3.96 watts/kg... is that good? Bad? Needs improving no doubt...
