Watt measurement in cycling and triathlon by Hunter Allen, Andrew Coggan and Stephen McGregor.
You have a power meter on your bike and don't really know where to start? The numbers keep jumping up and down and there's so much new data floating around on the computer display that you don't know where to look first?
Or are you finally thinking about buying a power meter, but are already overwhelmed by the selection on the market and everyone tells you something different?
Then this book is for you. It is THE standard work on watt-based training and racing for cyclists and triathletes. Without it, you don't really need to screw a power meter onto your bike.
This is now the 8th edition, and I pick up the book every now and then to recall things I've forgotten. And some things always seem to me as if I've never read them before.
My tip: if you spend hundreds or even thousands of euros on technology, you should invest those thirty euros quickly. They will really help you get faster!

In this book, Hunter Allen and Dr. Andrew Coggan explain the key aspects of watt-controlled training. They introduce various watt measurement systems and evaluation programs for ambitious cyclists of all performance levels and explain how they can be used to optimize training.
Using performance and fatigue profiles, every rider can identify his or her individual strengths and weaknesses and train specifically. Numerous training plans for a wide range of requirements and needs enable theory to be put into practice directly. Cyclists and trainers from different disciplines - from road, track, mountain bike or BMX riders to triathletes - will find in this book a scientifically sound guide to using power meters in training and to improve performance in the long term.
