what are realistic percentages for improving each of the power metrics we use?
reason I'm' asking is I'd like to set some realistic goals for next year for peak, 5 second, 1 minute, 5 min and 20 min.
My soon to be wife says I'm crazy and set unobtainable goals so I'm asking you crazies...lol
right now my bests are 1125, 1063, 470, 293, 260 respectively.
I've never tested my peak, 5 second and 1 minute the numbers just from a rides and intervals I've done.

Oh right - but for some reason it's blank for me, even though I uploaded a bunch of old rides.
I must be doing something wrong, but when I look at it the date range is just today-tomorrow.. seems weird that the PM tab is per-ride (instead of global), but maybe I'm not seeing some special view? Confusing.

V2 or V3? I use V2 because V3 was too buggy for me.
Check the slider and the boxes at the bottom of the graph. I set the slider to reflect the start of my season.

Well I have done it...
I was offered a trade of one of my wheelsets for a Powertap Pro+ (Wireless) which I will get Sunday. Probably finish out the year with it, sell it and move to an srm.
Guess I will have to lean on y'all to direct me a little (ok a lot) and go from there.

okay so I do some tempo intervals on the road, then plug the head unit into golden cheetah. golden cheetah shows the average power for the intervals as pretty close to what the head unit has, but average power for the whole ride is lower in GC than it is on the head unit.
Also, the head unit has a ride time of a few minutes longer than what GC has. What gives?

Yeah my 186 is probably your 160... All I ever hear is how thin I look and to go eat a sandwich.
And to think while getting ready years ago I weighed 156...

When I get home I'll see which version I'm on and why the F I can't see this easily. Also when I first loaded my files there were some huge spikes I had to flatten.. I guess WKO does this for you? Get what you pay for I guess.

I know you are for the simple reason that when analyzing your lies in you post the following came to light:
1. It was only once - nothing ever happens only once
2. She wasn't that hot - no need to comment
3. She had way too tight of a grip - it is very easy to squeeze your fingers together
but the tell tale lie that made me know it was ficticious?
"I had just ridden 100 miles"
Hehehehehehehehe
Just messing with ya...
