Rank by meaningful durations
Use fixed windows like 1 min, 5 min, 20 min, and 60 min to compare changes in energy systems.
How to use Power Rankings
Benchmark by duration, compare blocks, and prioritize one targeted limiter at a time.
Compare blocks, not random weeks
Block-to-block comparison reduces noise and better reflects whether the current plan is working.
Link ranking drift to training load
If rankings drop while load rises, review recovery and intensity distribution before adding volume.
Choose one limiter each cycle
Do not chase every weak duration at once. Select one limiter and build the block around it.
Are Power Rankings only for cyclists?
No. Any sport with reliable power-duration data can use this framework.
Should rankings replace CP and FTP?
No. Rankings complement CP/FTP and help interpret where specific duration strength is changing.
How often should I review rankings?
Weekly scanning is fine, but major training decisions should rely on block-level trends.
