New user  132   Kingston, Ontario |  Subject: Ironman power meter avgCan't seem to get a solid answer or even a ballpark idea. Im wondering what the avg power meter readings are for a pro doing the long 180km bike... Not that im going pro or anything i just really find i apreciate the athletes for how much they can deliver. Now i know there could be variables in this by course and wind and all that jazz so lets not get too techinical.. Just looking for an idea... Cheers  |

Master 10208 Northern IL | Subject: RE: Ironman power meter avg The range on this is fair size due to varying abilities, size of the rider, etc. But could see say 240-some for smaller more BOP pro to just over 300 for larger fast guys. Definitely lower for the women, they could be under 200 and yet still move right along. Training peaks has posted some power files from Kona. Here is one set of examples of this. |

| 287 | Subject: RE: Ironman power meter avg Maybe a better answer is 25-30% below your FTP for an Ironman distance event. Then again, multiple 5 or longer hour training bicycle rides will also provide you with insight on what you can handle/maintain. |

Champion 19812 MA | Subject: RE: Ironman power meter avg Like Billy suggested IM power is based on a percentage of your FTP. FOP and Pros can typically ride at a higher percentage since they are on the bike shorter. Slower athletes tend to ride at a lower percentage of their FTP. My IMs I end up riding in the 115-120 range but I'm a women and my FTP is usually right under 200 depending on the year, injury status, ect. I ride below 70% of my FTP. This is what training is all about seeing what % you actually can ride and dialing that in. |
