Watts per kilogram has been the key metric to compare one rider’s power vs. another rider’s for decades already. The higher W/kg you can sustain... the stronger a rider you must be. While it is a critical indicator of climbing performance, however, W/kg does have its limitations when the road flattens out and even on undulating terrain.
In this episode, host Ronan Mc Laughlin sits down with Xert’s Armando Mastracci to discuss why Xert is ditching W/kg and why XRP (Xert Relative Power) might be a better metric for comparing performances.
They also discuss how Xert's unique performance metrics and AI-driven tools may help you make smarter decisions about your training, fueling needs, and race strategies. The pair also discuss Xert's adaptive training plans and performance metrics and whether AI is coming for coaches' jobs.
