    SuperPower Calculator (SPC) contains a comprehensive suite of calculators and converters useful to anyone training, racing, and running with power.

    SPC for Google Sheets provides a complete suite of calculations while SPC for Web offers web-based versions of the most common calculations.

    Estimating Threshold Power

    When using SPCs, Threshold Power is referred to as FTP/CP.

    SuperPower Calculator has a number of calculations you can use to estimate your Threshold Power:

    • Calculate FTP/CP and RWC (W’) from a CP test

    • Calculate FTP/CP and RWC (W’) using maximal efforts from different activities

    • Calculate FTP/CP from a Prior Race Power/Time and Riegel Exponent

    • Calculate FTP/CP from a Prior Race Power/Time and RWC

    These are covered in the Four methods of FTP/CP estimation YouTube playlist.

    Running Effectiveness

    SuperPower Calculator can calculate a number of metrics from your workouts, using the option to Calculate Power metrics (RE,HPR,LSS/kg,CVI etc.) for up to 10 Activities.

    This option is covered in the YouTube video Running Effectiveness and the SuperPower Calculator.

    You can also calculate your actual Running Effectiveness after a Race/Event, so that you can use the result is input to planning your next event. This is covered in the YouTube video Calculating Actual Riegel Exponent (along with post-race calculation of your Riegel Exponent).
