[MENTION=394050]Raigoki[/MENTION], it's very hard to work to, or from, the Strava estimated power number simply because it's just an estimate, and not an actual measurement of your power. The app has no direct data about your effort, and can only infer from speed, terrain, and the weight you gave in your profile, unless you're feeding it heart rate, but I'm not certain their algorithm even factors that in.

Anyway, the point is that if you want to see that Strava estimated power number climb, you just have to ride faster. While there are many ways to train to do that, using Strava's estimated power figure is really not the metric you want to use to compare your capabilities to others' in any case.

It's natural to want to do that, and looking at power, specifically watts per kilo as noted earlier, has given us the most accurate of the indirect ways (direct being racing/riding) to do that. However, you need a real power meter to do that.

I'd think that your standings in the leaderboards on Strava segments are more accurate indicators of how to stack up against the average rider than is any type of "average power."
