I had a thought, and didn't understand how this works. I see all these plans and workouts for power based training using %'s.
When should the %'s start being broken down by your starting power? Instead of 10% over or 20% over for everyone.
A hypothetical: a year ago you were at 200w and would do power intervals at 110%, or 220w. A 20w difference. But, now you get to 300w. That's 30w. And some monster dude at 400w gets to do 40w over.
So, the amount you're going over is increasing as your power goes up.
Is this a product of how you "tickle" the physiology to change? I know the % is usually written as some kind of suggested range, but that range can often vary pretty far.
What gives? Upper % range with lower power and lower % range with higher power as your starting point, perhaps?
