I checked these against Hunter Allen's scores for cyclists to see how my 5min time matched up to my 30min avg power. And they scored nearly the same (mid cat3). Here is the link: http://www.cyclingpeakssoftware.com/power411/powerprofiling_v4.xls I must emphasize this is pre-season. The 30min test estimates that my FT (60min) best average power would be 252W. Last season, for example, I often tested 270-295 for FT. --Scott Here are my (5hr IM biker) powers in the pre-season: 5min = 317W and 30min = 271W.
