So switched the wheel from CX to MTB. Did two hot laps at Hillside. Yep, power rules. Heart rate and speed mean much less when it comes to real time measures. I can't share enough how much I've learned in one MTB ride with a power meter. I was so surprised!!
I been reading a lot and have a good book too "racing and training with power." Here's an article that's interesting. Most I find is on road. I think there is much to learn about the demands of MTB and power. Still a new area. I'm telling you right now power is the future of training. Price points are coming down....
My Road vs. MTB power profile. In both cases I removed the 0% power. At Hillside 25% was zero power, on road about a 8%! But MTB brought out much higher watts. I think if I'd have a bigger SS gear I would have seen even higher watts. Soon enough..... Below 1 watts and higher % of time MTB Hillside then CX ROAD ride below.
NUTS. I have so much good data. Real zones via instant power. Also a path to ensure peaks when I want. We'll see what I can get done this learning year.........
