Road Cycling “It is by riding a bicycle that you learn the contours of a country best, since you have to sweat up the hills and coast down them. Thus you remember them as they actually are, while in a motor car only a high hill impresses you, and you have no such accurate remembrance of country you have driven through as you gain by riding a bicycle.” -- Ernest Hemingway

Power ZonesI p

I posted this in Training section but saw no response;

I use a power tap hub, a joule 2.0 and power agent software. My FTP is 286, the power agent software calculated my power zones but the lower zones seem to be very wide while the upper zones are very narrow.

Recovery 0 -121
Endurance 122 -241
Threshold 242 - 269
Race Pace 270 - 297
Max 298 - 325
Supra Max 326 - 3000

Looking at Allen/Coggan book

1 <55% of FTP 0 - 157
2 56 - 75% 157 - 214
3 76 - 90% 215 - 257
4 91 - 105% 258 - 300
5 106 - 120% 301 - 343
6 121 - 150% 344 - 429

Should I manually change these numbers in power agent and update the Joule?

The Coggan Zones are the generally accepted zones for power, I use their zones for myself
