Power meters have become essential tools for competitive cyclists and triathletes. No training tool can unlock as much speed and endurance as a power meter--for those who understand how to interpret their data. A power meter displays and records exactly how much energy a cyclist expends, which lends unprecedented insight into that rider's abilities and fitness. With the proper baseline data, a cyclist can use a power meter to determine race strategy, pacing, and tactics. Training and Racing with a Power Meter makes it possible to exploit the incredible usefulness of the power meter by explaining how to profile strengths and weaknesses, measure fitness and fatigue, optimize workouts, time race readiness, and race using power. This new edition: Enables athletes to predict future performance and time peak form Introduces fatigue profiling, a new testing method to pinpoint weaknesses Includes two training plans to raise functional threshold power and time peaks for race day Offers 75 power-based workouts tuned for specific training goals This updated edition also includes new case studies, a full chapter on triathlon training and racing, and improved 2-color charts and tables throughout. Training and Racing with a Power Meter , will continue to be the definitive guide to the most important training tool ever developed for endurance sports. Review: Highly recommended - I bought an SRM before I bought this book and I could quickly see that it would transform the way I train. However I felt like I lacked in a lot of areas "how can I analyze the data?", "how can I build a training system?", "what are my strengths?". I had already read Joe Friel's book which is great for basic training and periodization but does not go into that much depth on how to actually use a power meter. A power meter is a complex tool and if you don't know how to use it won't benefit you that much. This book tells you how to use the power meter to figure out what kind of rider you are, find your weaknesses, very good suggested exercises and teaches you how to use the tools to their full extent. Combined with Joe's book you end up with an amazing combination. The only complaint I have about it is their focus on how great WKO+ is (a software they develop), however if you've read this book you'll know enough to be able to use any other software (I personally use Golden Cheetah). I'd recommend a power meter to any serious cyclist and without this book getting a power meter is a waste of money. The Cyclist's Training Bible Review: Great book on training with power - Very detailed, which was great, reading it as a sport physiologist, yet applicable and explained well enough that any cyclist can use the tools therein immediately. Authors might have stepped outside their box a little when attempting to make their case that traditional weightlifting and strength training isn't beneficial for cyclists. I'll forgive them. That wasn't the point of the book, and I think they provided great rational and useful tools to guide power meter use and interpretation for every facet of cycling, from training plan design, to single workout analysis and even intra-race decision making. Great book. ## Features - An updated second edition of the definitive guide to the ultimate training tool - Provides significant updates on technology, software tools, training protocols, and workouts, making the benefits of power-based training available to everyone - Has specific information for triathletes including a complete triathlon training plan - Paperback, 2-color interior with charts and tables throughout, 400 pages, 7 3/8" x 9 1/4" ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #716,018 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #41 in Bike Repair #143 in Triathlons (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 549 Reviews | ## Images ![Training and Racing With a Power Meter - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81WEZlUHY6L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommended *by M***E on July 3, 2011* I bought an SRM before I bought this book and I could quickly see that it would transform the way I train.

Great book. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ but it is still an excellent read if you are new to training with a ... *by M***C on April 2, 2016* This book is a bit dated, but it is still an excellent read if you are new to training with a power meter. Even thought this book covers some racing information, it is specific to how to use power meter data to train. It does push you in the direction of the authors' training tools (i.e., Training Peaks, WKO), but I can't really fault them for that. I use Training Peaks and this book is almost like a manual for how to use the website, as well as interpret the data. It provides a whole lot of workouts for different needs: anaerobic, aerobic, VO2, threshold, etc., which are nice when you are just getting started. If you have just bought your first power meter, if you don't do some reading on how to use it to train, you have probably spent a lot of money for no real return other than a new number on your head unit dash. I would highly recommend this book as a place to start learning how to use that new toy to push you to new levels of performance. ## Frequently Bought Together - Training and Racing with a Power Meter - Fast After 50: How to Race Strong for the Rest of Your Life - The Cyclist's Training Bible: The World's Most Comprehensive Training Guide --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.no/products/1492558-training-and-racing-with-a-power-meter](https://www.desertcart.no/products/1492558-training-and-racing-with-a-power-meter) --- *Product available on Desertcart Norway* *Store origin: NO* *Last updated: 2026-10-04*
