Hi everyone

I recently bought a second hand power meter from the hub and would like to start with power training right after the SA's.

Please can anyone inform me on power training mistakes and/or interesting information regarding power training. e.g. how to TT with power? how to calculate your lactate threshold in power etc.

Any comments are welcome!

Thanks a lot

Buy the book! This is a huge topic and I suggest you start reading, it becomes very confusing and technical.
Do it to the fullest, to the max, to the limit, dont stop till the finish, do it on your own - till you're finally shining.

Is this a book from Joe Friel??

I have the normal Cyclist training bible and have heard of his book called 'Training with power..' or something?

Can someone please point this book out to me because I can't seem to find the right one on the web..not too sure which one it is and the Title??

Power Training 101

DO try to break your chain.
DON'T actually break it.

That's it.
