Is it possible to have the option of displaying "normalized power" instead of "average power" in the user interval? It would be useful when doing intervals on the fly instead of resetting the unit and keep clicking back to see NP. Thanks!

When you're doing intervals you're probably pedaling almost continuously. If so, Average Power and Normalized Power should be nearly identical.

Are you doing a different kind of interval training?

Please post a ride file of one of your interval training rides and we will take a look.

Hi John, no, I'm doing just a regular tempo ride intervals. Here's the file. There is about 10 w difference between Avg power and NP on both intervals.

Thanks!

Normalized power generally doesn't work well for intervals, especially less than 10 minutes. It takes a fair amount of time to get settled in and is easily skewed on short periods. For a long ride it's a great metric that gives a good idea of effort.

I think you're better off with AP and do your best to maintain smoothness.

thanks Fernando. I just thought it might be a good feature to keep track of pacing especially for long course training with breaks in between. I did 2 intervals in the file. One 45 min and the other 39 min. I thought I was under performing in each interval until I downloaded the file and checked Isaac. How about adding "NP" in the "Avg-Max" button while on a user interval in "fit train"?
