Book Reviews of Training and Racing with a Power Meter

Book Review: Meet your meter
Summary: 4 Stars

"You can only change what you can measure" is one of the basic principles in the CycleOps indoor power cycling instructor course. I read "Training and racing with a power meter" in preparation for my course. It clearly describes how to measure what you do, how to analyse the data assesing you current fitness, and how to plan and perform the right training at the right time. Using a powermeter and reading this book lifted my own training and the classes I lead as an instructor and coach to a next level.

Summary of Training and Racing with a Power Meter

In only a few short years, power meters have become an essential training tool for amateur and pro cyclists and triathletes. The first edition of Training and Racing with a Power Meter was largely responsible for popularizing what was once an arcane technology understood by only a few elite coaches and trainers. Now the updated and revised second edition provides significant updates on technology, software tools, training protocols, and workouts, making the benefits of power-based training available to everyone. The new edition also includes specific information for triathletes?the fastest-growing segment in endurance sports?including a complete triathlon training plan. Other significant updates include reviews of the latest hardware, refinements and additions to training plans, additional case studies, more on monitoring fitness and chronic training loads, and revised and clarified artwork, charts and tables throughout. Training and Racing with a Power Meter, 2nd Ed., will continue to be the definitive guide to the most important training tool ever developed for endurance sports.
