Intervals.icu now supports age group power rankings for running and rowing as well as cycling. See how you compare to your peers! These are on the /power page:
I am probably going to have to break this down further by “type of power” when millions of Apple Watch owners suddenly start running with power. Presumably that will produce different results to Stryd.
Warm up for 15 minutes, preparing for hard effort at the end of it
Conduct a 3 minute interval at maximal effort
Recover with 5 minute walk, 10 minute easy jog, 5 minute walk, and 5 minute easy jog, and 5 minute walk again, (30 minutes total)
Conduct a 9 minute interval at maximal effort
Cool down 10 to 15 minutes easy
After you have completed this test, take the average power for the 3 minutes and the 9 minutes, and average the two values. For example, if you did 350 watts for the 3 minutes, and 300 for the 9 minutes, you would get a 325 average of the two.
Next, take 90 percent of that value, which is within about +/-3 percent of your actual value if you paced the efforts correctly, as all-out. So the 325 average, would be an estimated rFTPw of 293 watts.
Definitely, Garmin power is huge compared to Stryd. I like the Stryd method simply because it seems to compare nicely to cycling power. All arbritary thought with running power, only really useful for a comparison against yourself. That’s not to say it’s not a ‘nice-to-have’ though.
