I will never understand wanting to have numbers for when I'm not actually moving. It's a bike ride. Makes zero sense to have numbers from times when I'm not riding my bike.Your post reminds me of a guy I met about 15 y ago who told me he could average well over 400 W during criteriums. Yes, he was a cat. 1, but not all that big, so I knew instantly that the number was incorrect. Turns out he was a Mac user, and therefore never downloaded his SRM PCIV (which excluded zero values from averages) as at the time the SRM software only ran under Windows.
Bottom line: time not pedaling = time resting, which increases the power you can generate while actually pedaling. Excluding zero values therefore provides a distorted picture of what you did/what you can do/the physiological demands.
