Note: The Power Records chart is available on the TrainerRoad website, not in the mobile app.

What is the Power Records chart?
The Power Records chart plots your best power for every duration as a single curve, so you can see your whole power profile at a glance and track how it changes over time. With it you can:
- See your best power for any duration, from 1 second to several hours
- Create custom Seasons (your own training and racing periods) to analyze
- Compare up to three time periods at once: Seasons, quick ranges, or custom date ranges
- Switch between average Power and Normalized Power (NP)
- Focus on a duration range: Total (all durations), Sprint (1–30 sec), or Endurance (30 sec +)
- Click any point to see the exact ride(s) where you set that record
- Open a ride's full Ride Analysis page to dig deeper
- Use SeasonMatch to compare the same weeks of two different Seasons
Finding your Power Records
Step One: Login to your account on the TrainerRoad website.
Step Two: In the left sidebar, select Career and click Power Records.
Reading the chart
Each line on the chart is one time period you've selected. The horizontal axis is duration (how long you held the power); the vertical axis is power in watts. A higher line means more power for that duration. Hover or click any point to see the watts and the ride behind it.
Power vs. Normalized Power
Use the Power / NP toggle above the chart to switch what the curve shows:
Power: your best average power for each duration.
NP: your best Normalized Power, which accounts for the surges in a ride.
To the far right of the power filter you can also filter for duration. Total includes all power durations while sprint captures power outputs between one and thirty seconds and endurance captures anything longer than that.
Create and Manage Seasons
A Season is a custom period of training and racing that you want to analyze. A month, a training block, or a race build are all custom seasons you might create.
To create one, open any of the range selectors above the chart and click Seasons, and then select Manage Seasons. In the Manage Seasons panel, click + Add New Season.
From there you can give it a Season Name, set the start and end dates of the season and hit save. Seasons can cover any past, present, or future period. You can create several so you can compare your power at different points in your training.
Compare up to three time periods
Above the chart are three range selectors. Each one can hold:
- A Season you created
- A Quick Range: All Time, Year to date, Last 6 weeks, Last 90 days, or Last year
A Custom Range: any start and end date you choose
(You can also limit a range to Indoor workouts only.)
Select two or three ranges to overlay them and instantly see how your power compares.
