[font=Times New Roman]I am in my 7th week of Base training, most of which has been done at an Endurance Pace, though now including Tempo as well (since the past week). My Mean Maximal Power curve, as derived from CyclingPeaks shows a virtually level curve at 400W from just over 1 minute to 5 minutes when it drops dramatically before levelling off significantly around 10 minutes at my LT power.[/font]
[font=Times New Roman]I’m presuming this flat segment is the maximum power I am presently able to develop while at VO2 Max. I am wondering if the “leading edge” of the curve is likely to be dragged up once I start doing higher intensity training, or what indeed is going on here?[/font]
