Average Power and Max Average Power Difference

There are a couple different places you will see average power data in your Garmin Connect™ account. Including Average Power, Max Average Power 60 min and Max Average Power 20 min.

These values are calculated in different manners and may seem to be conflicting.

Average Power

The Average Power metric is calculated only during the time the Timer on your device is running.

Max Average Power

The Max Average Power metrics are calculated for the entire elapsed time of your activity whether the timer is paused or not. Any time the timer is paused will be calculated as 0 (zero) power for that time.
