Triathlon Training with Power

Are you ready to take your triathlon training to the next level with cutting-edge research and science? Triathlon Training with Power is the first book written to help athletes integrate power training into all three sports of triathlon. This book will introduce you to power training principles and their applications, developed by leaders in the endurance industry, can help you achieve peak performance. While the application of power training principles has been a mainstay for cycling training for some time, authors and master coaches Dr. Chris Myers and Hunter Allen expand this powerful methodology to apply to swimming and running. You'll learn how to develop an effective, revolutionary training program using the power training principles and methodology. You'll explore sample training plans across the multisport spectrum to help you create a personalized training regimen to maximize your ability and give you a competitive edge. Triathlon Training with Power provides you with an innovative, research-based tool to transform the way you think about triathlon training and elevate your personal performance.

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 cycling resources do more than mention 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 soon-to-be indispensable devices.

Hunter Allen and Andy Coggan, PhD have completely revised the book that made power meters understandable for amateur and professional cyclists and triathletes. 
Power meters have become essential tools for competitive cyclists and triathletes. No training tool can unlock as much speed and endurance as a power meter--for those who understand how to interpret their data. A power meter displays and records exactly how much energy a cyclist expends, which lends unprecedented insight into that rider's abilities and fitness. With the proper baseline data, a cyclist can use a power meter to determine race strategy, pacing, and tactics. 
Training and Racing with a Power Meter makes it possible to exploit the incredible usefulness of the power meter by explaining how to profile strengths and weaknesses, measure fitness and fatigue, optimize workouts, time race readiness, and race using power. This new edition: 
<ul>
<li>Enables athletes to predict future performance and time peak form</li>
<li>Introduces fatigue profiling, a new testing method to pinpoint weaknesses</li>
<li>Includes two training plans to raise functional threshold power and time peaks for race day</li>
<li>Offers 75 power-based workouts tuned for specific training goals</li>
<li>This updated edition also includes new case studies, a full chapter on triathlon training and racing, and improved 2-color charts and tables throughout.</li>
</ul>
Training and Racing with a Power Meter, will continue to be the definitive guide to the most important training tool ever developed for endurance sports.
