Hi everyone,
After years of self-coaching and training with a power meter, I’m excited to announce the release of my new book, The Self-Coached Cyclist - Training with Power, now available on Gumroad!
This book is designed to simplify the complex world of power-based training, making it accessible for serious amateur and recreational cyclists who want to improve their performance without being overwhelmed by technical jargon or spending countless hours on research. Whether you’re new to power meters or have been tracking your data for years, this guide will provide you with practical insights and tools to optimize your training.
For those of you familiar with Intervals.icu, you’ll be pleased to know that this platform plays a central role in the book. I walk through how to use Intervals.icu for effective training planning and performance tracking, offering clear examples of how you can leverage its features to improve your performance, even if you don’t have a coach.
What’s Inside:
- Practical guidance on using power meters with tools like Garmin, Wahoo, and, of course, Intervals.icu.
- Clear explanations of power-based metrics and how to apply them to your training.
- Strategies for creating training plans that align with your goals, no matter your level of experience.
- Advice on maintaining consistency and adaptability in your training for long-term success.
While the primary audience is non-professional and recreational riders, I believe the book also offers value to professional cyclists and coaches. If you coach athletes who are new to power training or need help making sense of their data, this guide can serve as a useful resource to simplify the concepts and ensure athletes are training smarter.
Thank you to everyone in this community for contributing to the incredible knowledge base that is Intervals.icu. I hope you find my book helpful, whether you’re using it for yourself or to support others in their training journey.
