Scripted Workouts
Joule™ allows for three types of workouts: scripted, manual and courses. Script workouts allow
for a list of workout parameters to be followed versus carrying a piece of paper. Manual workouts
are compatible with the CycleOps 400 Pro indoor cycle and PowerBeam trainer only and allow for
precise control over a target power or slope. Courses are also only compatible with the CycleOps
400 Pro indoor cycle and PowerBeam trainer and allow for duplication of a terrain based profile,
such as a favorite outdoor course or ride.

Note: Courses can only be ridden
with a controlled resistance unit,
like the CycleOps 400 Pro indoor
cycle and PowerBeam trainer.
When the 400 Pro indoor cycle detects that the cadence has dropped below a threshold value, it begins to
slowly withdraw the brake from the flywheel. This is an assist mode that helps the user increase speed and
prevents the flywheel from locking up. As long as the user is unable to increase speed above a threshold value,
the 400 Pro will continue to reduce the resistance.
The threshold speed that must be reached for the 400 Pro to begin increasing resistance again is higher than
the speed that causes it to begin to withdraw. This assists the user in achieving a speed sufficient to avoid immendiately entering the assist mode again.
Joule 3.0
User Guide
page 27
If the speed falls to nearly zero, the brake takes a large step back away from the flywheel,
immediately
reducing
the resistance. Speed falling to nearly zero indicates that either the user has stopped pedaling, or that they have

Setting Up Sensors
Joule™ is compatible witn many ANT+ sesnors, each having a unique code. A sensor is defined as
ANT + compatible power meters, cadence sensors, speed sensors, heart rate straps and CycleOps
resistance units. Joule™ needs to be paired to each sensor to ensure proper functionality.
1.

3.
Press the MODE button until Menu mode appears.
Select Sensors.
Select the desired sensor type (Power, Cadence, Speed, Heart Rate or RU); make sure
sensor is awake and isolated from other active sensors by 65 feet/20 meters).
4.
For Power sensors, select type of power meter. (PowerTap, Indoor Cycle -IC, ANT+, SRM,
Quarq)
5.
Select Start Pairing. Note: If a heart rate strap was purchased with Joule™ with it
will already be paired to Joule™ .
6.
After successful pairing, Joule™ should display a five digit code corresponding to the
sensor. (Pairing may take up to 60 seconds).
7.
Select Name and/or Wheel Circumferance to edit if desired.
8.
Select Active Sensor to save as the primary sensor and return to sensor list.
9.

Calibrating Sensors
For accurate PowerTap and indoor cycle readings, it is important to frequently zero the torque. If
the current power display is positive or negative while coasting the torque must be zeroed. This
operation must be done while stopped with no tension on the chain, pedals and the the transmission icon must be illuminated. For calibration of other power sensor please refer to that sensor
manufacturer’s calibration recomendations.

Peak Sustainable Power or Peak Power
1. The highest average power output that can be held for a given duration. 2. For most individuals
a peak sustainable power or peak power output lasting 4 to 8 minutes is equivalent to an intensity that elicits their VO2 max, or maximal capacity to consume oxygen. 3. For most individuals a
peak sustainable power output lasting 20 to 40 minutes is equivalent to an intensity that elicits
their lactate threshold or a value of blood lactate 2 to3 mM above their baseline blood lactate. 4.
For most individuals a peak sustainable power output lasting 40 minutes to 2 hours is equivalent
to an intensity that elicits their lactate threshold, or a value of blood lactate just above to 1 mM
above their baseline blood lactate. 5. In cycling, the peak sustainable power for any given duration is analogous to their best performance for a given time. For example, a runner might have a

have a personal best or peak sustainable power of 400 watts for 5 minutes and 340 watts for 35
minutes.

way of comparing the relative intensity of a training session or race either within or between
riders, taking into account changes or differences in threshold power. Typical IF values for various
training sessions or races are as follows:
•
Less than 0.75 recovery rides
•
0.75-0.85 endurance-paced training rides
•
0.85-0.95 tempo rides, aerobic and anaerobic interval workouts (work and rest periods
combined), longer (>2.5 h) road races
•
0.95-1.05 lactate threshold intervals (work period only), shorter (<2.5 h) road races,
criteriums, circuit races, longer (e.g., 40 km) TTs
•
1.05-1.15 shorter (e.g., 15 km) TTs, track points race
•
Greater than 1.15 prologue TT, track pursuit, track miss-and-out
Joule 3.0 User Guide page 47
Chapter 13: Definition of Terms
Training Stress Score (TSS) 1. Modeled after Dr. Eric Bannister’s heart rate-based training impulse
(TRIMPS), takes into account both the intensity (i.e., IF) and the duration of each training session.
The following scale can be used as an approximate guide:
•
Less than 150 - low (recovery generally complete by following day)
•
150-300 - medium (some residual fatigue may be present the next day, but gone by
2nd day)
•
300-450 - high (some residual fatigue may be present even after 2 days)
•
