update slope rate of ramp test

I have been really enjoying TPV and all of the new features. The sloped ramp test is a good idea and I enjoy that much better than 1min increases.

Would it be possible to scale the slope of the ramp to increase approx 6% every minute? It seems like the current variation is a steeper ramp leading to a higher wattage in less time.

It makes comparisons difficult between 8+yrs of tests per Coggan, etc al, and the current TPV.

Many thanks for your suggestion and support for TrainingPeaks Virtual.

The slope of the ramp test is set at 25 Watts per minute. This is consistent with all standard testing protocols so should be the same as you've previously done.

    Thanks for the input George. Obviously, you are free to set it at whatever you want, but 25w is not standard;

    CTS/Coggan specify 20w/min
    Trainerroad uses 6% (@300w thats 18w/min)
    Zwift uses 20w/min

    25w results in a much shorter test that is likely to result in inflated values of a ramp test (which are already typically inflated).
