The histogram says it all really, power is well distributed around 150-175W and there's no significant histogram bars up at 300W, 360W or 500W to indicate LT-type, VO2max and sprint-type work. Not sure what the three goals are... maybe one is a decent 2hr aerobic effort, and the 2nd & 3rd goals were to pickup a pint of milk and to call and see your gran?

Two of the goals can be worked from the image and you'll have to guess the 3rd, not quite my gran! I thought others might have chipped in with a response, come on. don't be shy!

Hmm... not sure Ric. Cadence looks pretty low, mostly been under 80RPMs. A force/strength workout?? Although power looks relatively low for a low cadence on-bike force workout?? Not sure what the other goals were!

Looking at the first power curve again, you definitely stopped around 50minutes for a break of some kind since HR dropped very quickly indicating you stopped, went away, and by the time you started riding again your HR had recovered quite a lot. I'm not sure why you stopped, maybe a toilet stop?

Low cadence, low power - you must have been doing Isolated Leg Training on a turbo Ric!

Hey, I've tried this recently after all the recent hoo-har on here, done one session per week turning a large gear over at about 40-60RPM. I certainly think the session helps with time trialling since it seems to teach your muscles to apply power throughout the entire pedal circle more. I know it does nothing for fitness itself, but during my last two TTs I've been able to smoothly pull the crank round the back of the pedal stroke much better and it's helped my power output by about 20W avg in the two events. So, it has helped me, for sure!
