Looking for a few pointers as to use this appropriately, it looks an excellent metric.

    Is there a question? :)

    Good race - you put out higher powers and tried...
    Bad race - you slacked off and barely scrapped threshold...

    Edit: bit more info about why either race was good or bad may help.

    More the question is about the analysis of the chart.
    This is a new feature in the latest Golden Cheetah release.
    There is a fair amount of guidance on how to interpret the quadrant analysis chart for example but struggling to find much about this feature on.

    I'd be interested too, though don't think it's a new metric, it's on my GC and I've had that a year?

    All I can tell is that is gives you the power range for a heart rate - so 300watts will put my hr between 150 and 170. Does it show your variability on a ride, or how constant/varied power you were putting out, or something to do with fatigue, or heart rate decoupling?

    Would love to know! All I know now is that it looks kinda cool!!
