These are categories that associate with a given Focus Duration point on the power-duration relationship and may or may not account for weight. Your training in Xert is influenced by your selected athlete type – for example, a sprinter’s training program will be different than a Rouleur!

The categories for cyclists are defined as follows:

Sprinters & Attackers

  • Road Sprinter : 2 minutes power to weight (W/kg)
  • Pursuiter : 3 minute power
  • Puncheur : 4 minute power to weight (W/kg)
  • Breakaway Specialist : 5 minute power

All-Rounders

  • Rouleur : 6 minute power
  • GC Specialist : 8 minute power to weight (W/kg)
  • Climber : 10 minute power to weight (W/kg)

Endurance

  • Sprint Time-Triallist : 20+ minute power
  • Time-Triallist : 1 hour power
  • Century Rider : 2 hour power
  • Endurance/Triathlete : 3 hour power

NOTE: For Focus Athlete Type categories assigned to workouts, any workout that has greater than 20:00 focus is labeled as Endurance for ease of understanding.
