Whats the biggest mistake you see people make when training with a power meter?
They don’t value the cumulative power of all of the data. It gives you your training stress and tells you how much you can handle over three months, four months, six months… It allows you to look at it in that periodic type of way. What you really need to understand is how it all builds together. It can tell you your chronic training load [what you do every day], but you have to account for that. If you just ride, collect information and look at it in the performance manger chart in our WK0 software it can tell you a whole lot about what you can handle. How did the idea to develop the software come about? A client, Kevin Williams, and I went to the first power seminar in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 2001 or 2002. The whole time, all those guys [those presenting at the conference] said was, ‘Man, the software sucks’. My client was a programmer and said he could make the software. So just like the stories you’ve heard, on a napkin over lunch we started thinking of how to make CyclingP
