  1. Can anyone recommend any books that deal with power-based training? There have been quite a few significant findings recently, so I am looking for the lastest publishings out there. I'm in the U.S. (New York)

    I would like to find some reading that lays out training plans, etc. Coaches cost $150/month and up, so I'd prefer to pursue an "educated" self-developed routine as I move towards the spring season. I ride with Polar S720/Power as well as indoor on a Computrainer.

    TRY THE FOLLOWING:
    ... Performance Cycling : Training for Power, Endurance, and Speed by Authors: David Morris Released: 17 June, 2003 ISBN: 0071410910 Paperback Sales Rank: 24,526, ...

  3. a good book, which is recognized as the best way to go if you are not using a coach is, The Cyclists Training Bible by Joe Friel. i am using it, but with modifications to my training. it is about 5 years old now so it is not the most up to date, but it will be a great help to you writing your own training plan.
    i recently bought a powertap and i am going to get an up to date book on training with power to help even further.

  4. I don't believe that there are any books out there focussing specifically on training with a powermeter. I've toyed with writing one, and have even put together an outline, but I don't see it happening any time soon. Your best bet is therefore to follow the course you have been, i.e., seek out info on the web and incorporate it into what you already know about training in general.
