Training and Racing with a Power Meter: Third Edition

I bought this book twice, once an older edition in German, and the latest third edition in English, when it came out.The book makes you understand, what zone training is and how to perform it with the help of your powermeter. The only thing it lacks is some deeper analysis of race biking, to my taste, there's a bit much on moutain biking, but that's not bad either.

It can get a little intense, but so is training. I'm going for my 1st power meter? I figured, before I spend the $$$, let's find out about how, what, and why, the money is being spent.$27, to fully utilize an amazing piece of traning equipment. Great Deal.DO NOT BUY A POWER METER WITHOUT THIS BOOK!

A critical, but rare skill, is to explain something complex in a simple way. I'm a data scientist and find this to give enough detail to understand it well, and enough explanation to be accessible to people who are not data scientists.If you are wondering if this book will be worth your while, the answer is yes. Even if you don't have a power meter, but instead train the old fashioned way, the workouts explained, and the principles can be applied to improve your performance. Highly recommended. The workouts alone are worth the price.This is more geared for endurance athletes--I wish that it had more for track sprinters. It turns out that's really difficult training data to find. There is a bit here, but not nearly enough for what I would like.

A bit too technical for my taste, however it did convince me not to get a power meter. I don't mean that in a derogatory manner. I think my skill level is not at a level where I would need to parse the data like the book suggests. I would think this book is designed for people that are seriously considering racing.

If you train with powermeter, buy this book. It's a great guide, with lot of charts, great explanations, examples and cientific references (is a learning book, not a physiology and physics treatise) well balanced with experience and different cyclist profiles. The workouts in the book are a great guide, pero I would like these to be based on the ilevels and not on the classic Coggan levels.

Must have book for all the athletes that what to train using a scientific approach. Not easy, but very rewarding when understood.

This is the go-to book for the subject of training with data, and the revised edition is a big improvement. If anyone is on the fence because they've already gone through previous editions, go ahead and get it.

Loved it! Jens always had the most hilarious insights while commentating the TDF now he's got my utmost respect. His experiences on and off the tour along with his personal life make me look forward to this season even more!!
