Pfffft... When I was his age.., 🤗

Blimey. What's a mechanical horsepower? 750W? The energy required to lift 1lb 50 feet in 1 second. 400W+ threshold is mighty.

I'll bet there are stronger (fake) numbers on Zwift by some of those aged 40-60.

Yep and he only weighs 66kg, so threshold 6W/KG, most trained but non racing amateurs are around threshold 3W/KG.

Has someone just made those up?

I mean they're not impossible I suppose, but I could make a nice multicoloured chart and put "data from Strava" on it and put any numbers I fancy into it. I know a lot of people have put a lot of effort into guesstimating these values so I could use them.

Seems reasonable to me.

A few years ago my FTP was 410W, only difference was I weighed 95kg at the time. Fine on the flat. farked on a hill.

Now I'm farked on the flat and avoid the hill.

I'm 5.5 just saying!🤣🤣🤣

The 6W per kg comparison stood out to me, since it makes the Zone 4 range of 388 to 452W easier to place. I had read about power zones in general, but seeing them set out this way helped me follow how the threshold figure is used.

Tallies with my experience, but then I'm in my mid-60s.
