Power meter

The power meter shows the average Watts per stroke. The blue line represents the stroke rate. Under the Watts is the max Watts produced during this segment of the workout.

Tips

  1. During a segment, look at the average Watts. Then challenge the participants, not to let the average drop under this average for the remaining time of the segment: “For the remaining 30 seconds, don’t let the Watts go lower than 200, that’s the minimum!
  2. Try to break the average max Watts as shown on the screen as a team during the final sprint. This is easier if the team builds up together: for instance 10 sec on 80% and 10 sec all out: “Guys your maximum power so far was 250 Watts, in the last segment, I want you to reach 300 Watts as a team!
  3. During the final sprints, try to add 10-20 watts every sprint. You might chose to give the team a break during the second last sprint. Focus on technique. Under the condition that everyone goes all out during the last sprint.
  4. When lowering the rhythm (for instance in a speedladder), challenge the team to maintain the average Watts on the same level.

Power meter – competition

This screen shows 2 power meters. The left regards the front two rows, the right regards the back two rows.

Tips

  1. Challenge the front rows to beat the back rows (or reversed). You can help the rows with the lowest Watts by making them all peak at the same moment.
  2. Challenge both rows to improve their own max Watts during the next sprint.
