BEGINNER’S GUIDE TO TRAINING WITH POWER

Training with power does not have to be overwhelming or complicated. In fact, we have 20 years of power based training experience and can help you understand how to train with power.  

In this podcast, Coach Frank outlines 5 steps to begin training with power and using your data in TrainingPeaks.

 

Step 1: Upload your Data 

Step 2: Look at your Power Graph 

Step 3 is to set your power at threshold and begin personalizing your data to you!

Step 4: Train Using your Power-Based Zones

Step 5: Set up your charts in your dashboard

A power meter is a fantastic training tool that can take your training and racing to the next level. Listen to our beginner's guide to start training with power and learn how to use the data to improve!
