Yes! We think there is. Welcome to the world of critical power (CP), W’, and W’ balance- truly science-based measures related to the “anaerobic” threshold. While the advantages of CP over FTP are many, its determination is a bit more complicated than 95% of your 20-minute power. Because of this, we have brought CP expert, Jason Bartram, onto the show to help facilitate this two-part conversation about the best practice for utilizing CP in your cycling training and coaching. In this episode, we focus mainly on CP and the power duration curve. Jason Bartram, PhDc is the former Australian National Women’s Track Team coach, former sports scientist for AusCycling and the Australian Institute of Sport, and current PhD candidate studying critical power, W’, and W’ balance in elite track athletes.  Guest panelist: Jason Bartram, PhDc https://www.linkedin.com/in/jason-bartram/ The podcast co-hosts: Jason Boynton, Ph.D. boyntoncoaching.com Damian Ruse semiprocycling.com Cyrus Monk cyclistscientist.com Instagram: @cyclingperformanceclub Facebook: @cyclingperformanceclub Twitter: @cyclingclubpod LinkedIn: The Cycling Performance Club Podcast References: Predicting Critical Power in Elite Cyclists: Questioning the Validity of the 3-Minute All-Out Test https://journals.humankinetics.com/view/journals/ijspp/12/6/article-p783.xml Relative Proximity of Critical Power and Metabolic/Ventilatory Thresholds: Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs40279-020-01314-8 The Physiological Basis of Athletic Records https://link.springer.com/article/10.1007%2Fs40279-020-01314-8
