Episode notes
Normalized Power Drives Stable Pacing
- Using normalized power as a modeling target naturally keeps variability low and yields sensible pacing.
- The math tends to regulate average power to keep VI near 1.05 without forcing it explicitly.
Don't Start Too Hot After The Swim
- Avoid the common race-day mistake of going out too hard, especially after the swim.
- Adopt a pre-defined power plan and stick to it to preserve legs for the run.
FTP Changes How Hills Affect Pacing
- Lower-FTP athletes face forced higher relative efforts on climbs due to gearing and minimum power to keep moving.
- Higher absolute FTP lets riders maintain steadier VI and exploit aero gains downhill.
