Are my coworkers genetic freaks or is Peloton power off?

Short ish answer.

No their 20min power is not 400+w…

It’s basically a random number generator.

Unless you’re talking about a very large lean athlete, it’s very rare for someone to produce over 400w for 20mins. This would have them riding at incredible speeds.

I’ve met a few riders capable of it in real life. All of them were elite or professional athletes. If they aren’t elite, they are just very large riders. As a w/kg measurement 400w for 20mins is not very special at all, if you weigh 100kg/220lbs etc

Sadly the kg part of w/kg is a thing…
