Power-to-weight chart

What your W/kg means at 5 seconds, 1 minute, 5 minutes and FTP, on Andrew Coggan's power profile table.

By Pedal BriefTable checked 14 October 2026Source: TrainingPeaks

At FTP, Coggan's table puts the average untrained man at 2.22 W/kg and woman at 1.83; the top row (world champion) is 6.60 and 5.69. “Good” (e.g. Cat 3) spans 3.55–4.31 W/kg for men and 3.00–3.68 for women.

Enter your FTP and weight; add your best 5 s, 1 min and 5 min if you have them. The nearest table row wins, as Coggan's instructions say; where two levels overlap, both are shown.
