How do you compare your training commitment against your friends or even the pro’s? Speed, duration, or watts/KG?

No! Its about your SKC, your Steven Kruijswijk Coefficient.

Your what? The Steven Kruiswijk Coefficient is indicates how you used your training time. Did you take too many breaks? The longer the ride, the more minutes are allowed for a coffee, snickers of cola break. A 25 minute break in a 5 hour ride is fine, but in a 3 hour ride you would be taking it to easy.

Former pro-cyclist Laurens ten Dam invented the SKC after studying the rides of pro-cyclist Steven Kruiswijk on Strava. Laurens noticed that Steven really gets the most out of every hour on training.

FAQ

So what is SKC?

SKC stands for Steven Kruijswijk Coefficient. It indicates how committed you have been during your training ride. How much time have you been standing still during the ride relative to the duration of the training? The lower the value the better. Obviously, during a longer training, more time for short breaks is allowed. See the table in the next item.

On what is the SKC Verdict column based?

The table below indicates what SKC values are good (or bad) for a number of hours or training. Only full hours count so if your close the home after 3 hours and 55 minutes, you better go around the block a few times to complete that 4th hour.
