![]() To estimate your CP and W’ values (if you don’t already know them), GoldenCheetah provides a tool in the “ Tools -> Estimate CP and W’” menu. To be able to compute W’ Bal, we need two values: You can note on this chart the peaks above CP (the line is going down, as the amount of remaining W’ decrease), and the periods where power is below CP (the line is going up, as the amount of remaining W’ increase). Skiba theory, and this value was then implemented on the GoldenCheetah software, on the “Charge” chart of a ride: So if you ride long enough below CP, W’ will be at 100% again.Īll these variation in W’ are expressed as “W’ Bal” in the Dr. As soon as your watts get lower than CP, W’ will “regenerate”, and the value will increase again. So if you push on the pedals harder than CP, W’ will decrease. At my level, I use to consider my CP and FTP as the same value. The limit at which you will start lowering the W’ is known as CP (Critical Power). But if you push harder, you will start using this energy. While you’re riding at low intensity, W’ remains at it full level, and you can theoretically continue riding at this intensity for a while. ![]() This value, known as W’ (or W prime) is measured in joules. To make it simple, assume that a cyclist have a given amount of energy at the beginning of a ride. Let’s dig a bit into this interesting value… This app is designed to display the remaining value of W’ during a ride on the cyclist’s device. Peak EPOC is added for every new activity, it’s based on your HR data and will later be added to historical workouts.A few weeks ago, I released the first version of my W’ Bal datafield on Garmin Connect IQ. If you want the occasional delve into some deep data then you can by linking it to Runalyze. It makes sense to keep using it if you are happy. The adidas app is a very popular and pretty decent app for recording and reflecting on your runs. Jan 2022: There is now a new sync to the adidas app. ![]() Scanning through the list, below, you will see that some relatively unusual and niche things are added…the implication being that many of the standard features are already there. If you are looking for running power, critical power charts and all that kind of stuff then, yep, that’s there as well. For more info head over to their site or to their relatively active forums. I think the guys that write Runalyze come to this site from time to time so they’ll probably tell me I’ve missed out loads of features. Runalyze’s January roll of honour (new features) is impressive enough so I’ll show you that plus some of the highlights from the last 12 months. Some better-known hardware brands or platforms get some great media coverage for adding relatively small features. I was prompted to give this heads-up for Runalyze mainly because they deserve it. But if you want more and if, say, the likes of Golden Cheetah seem dauntingly complex or if Training Peaks looks great but is too expensive then it’s DEFINITELY worth checking out the free tier of Runalyze. If you are happy with Garmin Connect or Strava then great. Sure some of the more unusual analyses are for paid users but the free membership is genuinely free and genuinely useful. It covers triathlon as well as running, never be fooled by a name (#the5krunner) It is crammed full of interesting and useful features. Runalyze is a powerful online workout reporting & analysis tool.
