This might seem like an inane question, but here goes...I recently read that onle of Lance's training goals was to achieve an output of 6.7watts per Kg of body weight. What type of training program will promote an increase in power output over sustained time periods? At 150 lbs, that's 68kg, or an output of 456 watts! So, forgetting the superhuman effort and physiology that requires, the question still remains...what training protocol promotes an increase in sustained power ouotput?

No, I didn't. Can you tell me where to find them?

Sustainable power is aerobic power. Your Maximum Aerobic Power (MAP) tells you the peak power you can generate through aerobic processes, and is typically a function of your VO2Max value. Your lactate threshold (LT) dictates your power levels for longer periods of time, and also your ability to recover. A very high, sustainable power is a result of a high VO2Max and a high LT.This link describes training zones, and the physiological adaptations expected for each. Look for the zones which improve VO2 and LT.

In addition to reading the FAQ that rmur helpfully pointed out, you should read all six recommended articles for newbies on that web page. That should keep you busy for a while and answer all of the common questions about training with power. If you can't get through all of them you should definitely hire a coach as you have already invested a large sum of money in buying a power meter.
