Answer: train hard. :-)
Ratio of average power to average heart rate during 4 min intervals in an elite athlete doing six such efforts once per week:
Week #1: 1.76 W/(beat/min)
Week #2: 1.79 W/(beat/min) (+1.7%)
Week #3: 1.81 W/(beat/min) (+2.8%)
Week #4: 1.85 (W/beat/min) (+4.8%)
Week #5: (TBD)
Okay, so the experiment is ongoing...but based on the apparent rules-of-evidence of this forum, I'd say that it's fair to ass u me that this subject with another 8 wk of training this subject's power:heart rate ratio during such efforts will be up ~15% in total. ;-)
