The terms StemNotes uses, in plain words.

Term

Meaning

CP (critical power)

The highest power you can hold for a long time without fading, roughly 30–60 minutes. Your plan's intensities are worked out against it.

W′

How much work you can do above CP before you tire, in joules. Shown when you calculate CP.

NP (normalised power)

A power figure that weights hard efforts, so interval sessions count for what they cost you. StemNotes sets your carbs from it by default.

IF (intensity factor)

How hard a ride was against your CP. IF 0.82 is 82%.

Carbs per hour (g/hr)

Grams of carbohydrate an hour.

g C

Grams of carbohydrate in a feed.

Feed

One point in the ride where you eat.

Feed interval

Gut limit

Should have

The carbs you'd have needed for how you actually rode.

Carb balance

What you ate against what your rides needed, over a period.

Store cupboard

The gels, chews, bars and drinks you carry. Plans only use starred ones.
