more numbers

based on the same formulas below, here are some additional insights.

1 lb of weight loss is equivalent to 1.5 watts of power gain. If you want to make a formula out of it ...


(weight difference) * 1.5 = power difference

Every pound of weight lost equates to a .46% time gain. So, 10 pounds should almost net a 5% time bonus.


(time at old weight) / (1 - weight loss in pounds * .0046) = time at new weight


an overall sustained gain of 1 watt increases overall time by .31% and so a 10 watt gain yields a 3% time bonus.


(time at old power) / (1 - power gain in watts * .0031) = time at new power
