Single Pull And Watts!

[[old] jonwilko]

Hi everyone,<br /><br />I have seen people quoting their 'single pull' in their stats- is this the distance in metres?<br /><br />I am also interested in the power generated as I am a track cyclist and it is all about power!<br /><br />I can generate 560 watts on the erg and keep this up for a minute- is this reasonable?<br /><br />Over my PB for the 1k I average 370 watts = 3.22.6 mins.<br /><br />How should I be working on my power or should I just worry about pace?<br /><br />Jon Wilkinson-Lockyer -6'-3'' 93 kilo 37 years. <br />1k=3.22.2<br />2k=6.58.2<br />5k=18.24.5<br />10k=39.09.1<br />60 mins=14800m<br />30 mins=8067m.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />

A 1:25.5 pace for a minute is fine, continue for the 25.5 seconds to get all the way to 500M and you will be pretty high in the rankings for your category too.<br /><!--quoteo--><table border='0' align='center' width='95%' cellpadding='3' cellspacing='1'><tr><td><div class='genmed'><b>QUOTE</b></div></td></tr><tr><td class='quote'>Over my PB for the 1k I average 370 watts = 3.22.6 mins.<br /><br />How should I be working on my power or should I just worry about pace?<br /> </td></tr></table><br />Just understand that the "watts" figure being displayed is the Avg watts for that particular stroke.

I thought I was a bit on the big side! Can you get to a track? It really levels the playing field against those small light whippets!<br /><br />Thanks for the tips.<br />Jon
