I will say it is much more work to interpolate effort/work onto a once-per-second speed delta and then factor in the whole ^3 air resistance thing. And yes, I'll prolly just be lazy and look at the power plot.

Maybe power meters are really only for the domain of training in zones. I do know precisely how many beer calories I am allowed each day though.
