Training and Racing with a Power Meter: Third Edition

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.

This book is excellent for grounding someone in the nuts and bolts of training science, and of course for gaining a much deeper understanding of how to benefit from a power meter. It's pretty clear that the work this author did has played a key role in shaping how serious cyclists all over the world are getting trained and coached.

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

日本語訳も出ている「パワートレーニングバイブル」の改訂版です。当たり前ですが、かなりの内容が更新されており、使われているマトリクスにも大きな更新・変更があります。英語が読めて、パワートレーニングの最新・最深・最高峰の情報に触れたい方はぜひ。英語に自信の無い方にはおすすめできません。さらに、TreaningPeaksか、WKO5がないと、だいぶ話が通じませんので、予めそこは使えようになった状態で読み始めることをおすすめします。 日本語もそのうち出るんですかね？需要あるのでしょうか…？

Já li o Time Crunched Cyclist e o Cyclist's Training Bible e posso dizer que, mesmo pra quem não tem um medidor de potência, esse é o melhor dos 3 livros. Diferente dos demais que enxem páginas e páginas de pura enrolação que não leva a lugar nenhum, aqui você vai encontrar não só os principios básicos de treinamento como também o impacto gerado no seu corpo e sugestões de rotinas muito mais aprofundadas e diversificadas do que os demais, com informações valiosas para o ciclista. Não a toa, esse livro é referenciado pelos autores dos livros citados ali em cima.

Interesting and complete

Aún estoy por el capítulo 4 pero es muy didáctico y claro en los contenidos. Escrito en inglés Pero si no es un impedimento para ti, es el libro necesario para saber todo del entrenamiento
