Chann McRae Coaching: Sample race feedback and power analysis from Chann to an athlete

Sample race feedback and power analysis from Chann to an athlete

From Chann:

4/5/08 power - KJ = 2861 high but not overly depleting. Explains the ability to enter the 2nd day into break away and stay away. 3700-4000 kj would have limited you to be able to do this, but not prevented you if the head is fresh. The mind can overcome the physical fatigue if it is sharp and be able to hoax the body into back to back breakway days even when it uses 4k kj on the first day. Just remember this for future weekends that may have back to back 90-100 mile days.Sub LT power was very, very good for the 20 min. @ 314 watts The 10min. Z4 was right on or slightly above LT @ 347 watts the anaerobic power was the most impressive at 1 min of 492 watts.

You must have been forcing some suffering on the others in that attack or bridge.

Norm power = 301 which is high, and shows very good depth, overall durability, and fitness to maintain for 3hrs.

4/6/08 power - KJ = 3772 high and depleting. Explains the need for 3 recovery days. Even better norm power at 294 watts, because the race was longer. The fitness is really solid. You won't fall apart in any races.

Comment- plotting tomorrow's opening work out- go ahead and only do 10 min. of Z3 and 5 min. Z4. It is just enough to maintain freshness, and keep you 100% opened. Same TT warm up as Fayetteville.
