Worked example
Worked example
A 2000m time of 7:30 is an average split of 1:52.5, which is 245.8 watts at an even pace.
How it is worked out
The average split is the time scaled to a 500m split: split = time × 500 ÷ 2000. Watts then come from that average split: watts equal 2.80 divided by (split ÷ 500) cubed. The figures assume the same pace over the whole distance. They show what a time needs, not a pacing plan.
