I’d like to request the option to use Skiba’s xPower metric as an alternative to Normalized Power.
xPower is what Strava uses for its Weighted Average, and I personally think it’s a better way of estimating the physiological cost of a ride. As someone relatively stronger at 30 second efforts, I find Normalized Power tends to overestimate the intensity and variability (and training load) of some of my rides.
Thats quite an interesting concept. I had heard of xPower before but never looked it up. I could certainly add it as an extra stat displayed for a ride but making it possible to swap out NP everywhere in Intervals.icu would be quite a bit of work.
This is quite a nice comparison of xPower vs NP (normalised watts in Intervals.icu) and the better fit of xPower with HR is very big plus IMO:
