20,000 watts per second divided by 50 watts = 400 seconds or almost 7 minutes.
If you make a 500 watt effort, the delta of 200 watts can be done for 20,000/200 or 100 seconds.
I was not careful, hope I wrote that correctly
What?
I'm not sure what that has to do the majority (over 50%) of your energy being supplied aerobically for efforts over ~40ish seconds.
The longer you go, the higher the percentage of aerobically supplied energy. Other than duration, doesn't really depend on the effort at all.
With a CP 60 of 330-40, I can do 350w for over 30 minutes, 500w for over 3 minutes, and 700w for over a minute. All of those are aerobic efforts.
