power meter explainedApril 6, 2008 really well thought out book, explaining the different training zones inherent in our physiology and how they relate to practical methods of utilizing them to train better and understand the need for recovery and useful training levels.
Power the only way to trainMarch 10, 2008 If you have a power meter this book will make sense out of all the numbers, will give you real insight in the newest training way out there.
Very technical book, but easy for the layman to understand. Will please 99% of the racers out there.
Good, but not greatFebruary 9, 2008 3 out of 4 found this review helpful
This is a fine book and tells some cool thing about bicycle powermeters. It introduces some usefull concepts, like the normalized power, TSS. You'll understand some capabilities of the limit-less tool called powermeter. It shows how to use an powermeter beyond the ordinary. You'll learn some nice stuff.
But the author doesn't give away their gold. It looks like their real secret - the training sessions - are kept away. They begin to show some exercise sessions for some kind of purpose, but they don't show you a lot. I felt like they were writing an teaser, not the full movie.
They also tell a lot about the Cycling Peaks software, which is good, but not all that great. I prefer to combine the Cycling Peaks with the original SRM or Powertap softwares to get the most juice.
They tried to keep this book from being an big ad and they pretty much accomplished that. I didn't get angry, nor got crazy to go buy their software after reading the book.
Cycling with power effectivelyNovember 5, 2007 Simply the most comprhensive book out there on the subject. A little biased in favor of "TrainingPeaks" software but still very, very good. If you are looking for simple answers about training effectively you might want to look elsewhere. Training with power takes a little thought and consideration.
Usful training guide for novis power meter ownerOctober 19, 2007 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book clearly explains training based on power meter data & has been especially useful to me as a novis to power meter use in triathlon training. The book outlines training zones based on individual abilities & self testing, plus their effect on training stress. Most usewful & highly recommended.
