Let's dumb it down. Training with a power meter (PM) is an essential tool for cycling. With so many people training at home now due to Covid-19 (errrrr so horrible) it is even more crucial to understand power training. And I certainly hope you are safe during this crazy time.
The PM doesn't lie. Either you're putting out the watts or you're not. The PM will tell you in real time what force you're applying to the pedals. The old adage rings true- heart rate is a response to work being done and power is the work being done.
Here are the best three tips for PM training. For more insights into these tips and to take your training up a level leave a comment with your contact info-
-You're always monitoring NP,HR RPM & perceived exertion the same time not just watts -The watts don't lie.Either you're producing or you're not
-Less weight,more power=better w/kg. FOCUS
Well written and easy to digest, which is honestly rare for a topic like this one. You touched on a few things that rarely get discussed but make a real difference in practice. I shared a few of my own takeaways on this at https://bsmandmedia.com/pages/uncx_vesting_launches_on_solana__why_token_distribution_infrastructure_matters_for_teams__investors_.html as well, in case it's relevant.
Nicely done — there's a lot of fluff out there on this, and your post avoids all of it. The structure made it simple to skim back and find the parts I wanted to revisit later. I went a bit deeper into the practical side of this at compoundfinances.net for those who want it.
Clear, practical, and no nonsense — exactly what I look for when I read on this. I appreciated that you acknowledged the nuance instead of pretending it's all simple. I've collected a few resources on this same topic at bonzofinance.com for anyone who's curious.
