Training Metrics

Weighted power

Weighted power smooths your power output to account for surges and coasting. A ride with lots of sprints and recovery will have a higher weighted power than average power, reflecting the true physiological cost.

Training load

Training load combines duration and intensity into a single number:

• Under 150 — low to moderate, recoverable in a day
• 150–300 — high, may need 1–2 days recovery
• 300+ — very high, extended recovery needed

A value of 100 equals one hour riding at your threshold power.

Relative intensity

Relative intensity is your weighted power divided by your threshold power:

• Under 0.75 — recovery/endurance ride
• 0.75–0.85 — tempo
• 0.85–1.0 — threshold
• Above 1.0 — you exceeded your threshold (sustainable only for short efforts)

Keep your threshold power up to date in Performance Settings for accurate values.
