IM Race Power Spreadsheet

Georgey

I bought the EN Racing with Power bundle and have a question about using the EN_Power_Racing_Calculator (version 1) spreadsheet for a full Ironman distance race. 



I noticed that the Calculator worksheet says 'Half Ironman Wattage Guidance' (cell B12). Does the guidance in the spreadsheet also apply to a full Ironman distance?



Just to confirm, my FTP is 226, I expect the bike split to take 6:05-6:10 so I'm assuming my %FTP should by 69%, which gives me goal watts of 156. This is a crucial part of my race execution so can someone more familiar with the spreadsheet please confirm the spreadsheet applies to 140.6 races and that my target GW is correct? 

Thanks!

check to see if there is a second excel "page". Look at the bottom for a tab.

There are 3 tabs/pages: one HIM TSS table, one IM TSS table and one calculator... just wanna make sure that the guidance in the calculator applies to IM distance and that I'm using it correctly (first time using it). I think I've got it right but just wanna confirm with someone more familiar with it.

I just looked at mine and see the same thing, I believe it is only a labeling error.

The calculations should be based on FTP x IF (226 * 0.69 = 156) which is what you have. The others are your goal watts -5% +5% and +10%

you should be all set.

George, I used that same calculator during my last RR for an IM. Plugged in 0.69 IF and TSS was exactly as it says in the IM TSS table. So you are good to go.

Awesome... Thanks so much everyone!
