Define specific parameters for sections of your route. This can be used for experimenting with pacing or for creating an interval workout for you and your Virtual Partner to follow. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pro Tip: Combine the data from the Last Change Delta<\/a> chart with your interval planning. For example, try adding a few Watts to your Virtual Rider profile. Look at the Last Change Delta to discover where the greatest impact on time is. Then create intervals that have a bit more power on the sections with the greatest time impact. See how we did this here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Creating intervals<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

1. Go to any chart. In this example I am using the Power Profile chart that has three intervals currently created. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Make the adjustments as required for the interval. Write a descriptive label, change the wattage & alter the aerodynamic drag. Click the ‘Close and Update’ button to finish. Or click the ‘Delete’ button to cancel and remove interval.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
