Take Training And Racing With A Power Meter Compiled By Hunter Allen File Pamphlet

good explanation about training and racing with power, though not as the authors admit a training book, For that you also must read Friel Cycling Training Bible or Triathlon Training Bible, I would still expect slightly more pace on analysis of power data, detailed examples, But anyhow a good book, Also: you need what they call CyclingPeaks software what is now WKO, from TrainingPeaks in order to get the charts the book describes.
I have that, so this is fine for me, Wether you are a cyclist or a runner using a powermeter, you will find this book very useful, It is a really great book with many specific concepts relating to training with power, Especially the presented "power duration curve model PDC" is something all serious power athletes should utilise, It is such a great tool when assessing racing and training using power, this book is essentially a reference title for biking with a power meter, very useful for me who is just starting to train with power but of course much of it is either too technical or not really relevant to me at this point especially since my power meter is part of my indoor trainer and i dont know if i'm going to invest in an actual power meter for out on the road but i guess it's worthwhile to get introduced to some of the concepts and then maybe come back to them later on if i think will be helpful.

以FTP为基础进行的功率训练没办法完全看懂但有收获简单点说功率分个等级练哪补哪 Openned my eyes to training with power, A must read for any serious cyclist looking to improve Книга рекомендована к прочтению увлеченным велоспортом людям, В книге понятным языком описаны основные термины, понятия и принципы организации тренировок с помощью измерителя мощности. После прочтения данных материалов вы поймете что за графики рисует вам Strava, научитесь находить свои слабые и сильные стороны не по ощущениям, а исходя из реальных данных. В идеале сможете получать больше пользы затрачивая меньше часов на тренировки. Могу сказать, что начинающие любители могут смело использовать идущие в комплекте со Zwift/TrainerRoad тренировки, потому как они построены на научной базе которая описана в данном материале. Продвинутые любители и тренеры могут найти для себя много полезного материала по методологии анализа данных.

В книге почти не затрагиваются физиология спортсмена, но есть рекомендации по литературе для изучения данного вопроса.

Плюсы данной книги: Практичность, понятный язык изложения. Это хорошая стартовая площадка для начала изучения "умных", базирующихся на данных методологий тренировок.

Минусы: Не покидает ощущение, что книга является рекламой для WKO программное обеспечение для анализа тренировок.

Кратко: Если абстрагироваться от рекламы WKO, книга принесет много пользы. Рекомендую. The first chapters are very useful book for beginners especially if you need to know about the principles of training with power meter.
Some of the ideas might seem simple and intuitive however this book will explain in detail how its driven and calculated not that you have to know in detail.


Later chapters I feel is more for specific type of athletes and coaches, like how to prepare for longer endurance event.


You can use this book as reference to draft your own training plans however with all the apps available its definitely easier but good to know the logic behind Pretty technical.
I'm applying it to erg rowing, not cycling, The watts in cycling are enormous, or maybe I'm just a weakling, Good introduction, can't wait to start with my new power meter Easier to read than implement very technical but good reference material Excellent read on understanding the mystical nuances of training with power.
This book goes into full detail on everything FTP, training zones, etc, Overall, highly recommend for any cyclist/triathlete, This book was so much more than I had anticipated when I first opened it, Hats off the Hunter Allen for all his hard work in the area of Power Meter Data Analysis,

This book took me quite some time to finish as there is so much detail about the analysis and interpretation of the data that the power meters provides that it takes some time to get your head around it all and digest it before moving on to the next section.
I am glad I did take the extra time to read each section carefully though as it would not give this book justice if you merely skimmed through each section.


Hunter Allen breaks down each chapter and goes into the analysis and interpretation in such detail that anyone from an elite athlete to a weekend warrior could benefit and become a better rider.


I will probably never use all the information in this book but it will be my number one reference for new training material and training programs as there are endless permutations that are provided.


I definitely feel more knowledgeable about the subject of Training and Racing with Power now and will be using this in my own rides and for those that I coach.
The book is a fair introduction to training with a power meter, Although it states that one will be able to correct train using a power meter and also comes with a list of workout options, the book does not discuss how to use periodization in training.
There is no use in a bunch of training workouts if do not know what to do with them.
I was expecting a little bit more, If you own a power meter or are considering one, you have to buy it,

Only reason I give itinstead of: a little out of date on the facts inevitable with technology moving so rapidly and, more serious criticism, a little to heavy on examples for hypothetical athletes.
The part about building a program, for example, walks through a hypothetical athlete and his schedule, Great, but that doesn't give any abstracted rules to allow one to generate myriad other programs,


A good collection in explaining the basic concepts: Normalized Power NP, Intensity Factory IF, Training Stress score TSS, and Functional threshold power FTP etc.


Something useful concepts that I am not familiar with: Power profile, This is what I've missing for long time, I am curious to test my guess, The method to calculate different time periods iLevel to make power duration curve PDV, which gives more accurate picture than just using discrete data pointss,m,m.


I don't think I would go with Power Manager: Acute Training Load ATL, Chronic Training Load, etc.
. I know the TrainerPeak offers such analysis, but the cost is too high, Let alone, the high requirements for data accuracy,

Some advanced concepts, e, g. , average effective pedal force AEPF, circumferential pedal velocity CPV, and Quadrant Analysis, might useful for the cadence analysis,

I think the most interesting part of this book is chapter, I am interesting in the example of Bob, I will further read this part

and also try to use Table,like Bob.
Power meters are rapidly becoming an invaluable part of training and racing among professional cyclists and triathletes, amateurs looking for a competitive edge, and gear fiends.
For coaches and athletes, these devices offer enormous potential for targeting and timing training to realize a rider's goals.
Yet few athletes or coaches understand how to interpret the data for optimal results, and few do more than consider the possibility of wattage training.
""Training and Racing with a Power Meter decrypts the layers of information and explains how to begin a program that effectively integrates power.
Hunter Allen and Andrew Coggan have conducted extensive research and consulted with manufacturers to deliver the most sophisticated and scientific approach to training on the market, allowing riders to tap every last watt of power.
The book includes cogent case studies, sample power workouts, and a chapter on the future of training and racing with these indispensable devices.
