The Xert Time-to-Exhaustion Field is a VERY Powerful Tool for Managing Power.
The Xert Time-to-Exhaustion Field, which I have written about before, is a powerful tool for cyclists who use power. Here’s how I use it.
My upcoming peak is set for a week from now. I’m attempting to break the 5MMP “Breakaway Specialist” value that has been predicted by Xert. When I set my “Time-to-Exhaustion” power right at the 5MMP value, the Garmin can count down to the point where my MPA equals my FTP. If I ride at harder intensities, it will count down faster. If I ride at lesser intensities, the timer won’t move or will move slowly.
Furthermore, there is a “Time-to-Recovery” element that is also quite useful. I have set that to 170 watts, well within my recovery range, and the timer will count down until my MPA reaches “Full” recovery.
I’ll make another video using this field off my bike, so you can watch it in real time.
Thanks for watching, don’t forget to subscribe to the blog , and don’t forget the webinar next Saturday!
Enjoy the Ride!
