Glossary
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 | How often you eat: every 20, 30 or 60 minutes. |
Fatigue phase | The days around your period when you’re more tired than normal. StemNotes raises your carbs one or two steps on those days. |
