Worked example

Worked example

7000m in 30 minutes is an average split of 2:08.6 (1800 × 500 ÷ 7000), which is 164.7 watts at an even pace.

How it is worked out

The average split is the 30-minute time (1800 seconds) scaled to a 500m split: split = 1800 × 500 ÷ distance. 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.
