We talk about the idea behind the The Power and Fatigue Profiles, how power meters help to work out your optimal training hours, why keeping a training diary is the most important part of training with a power meter, specific ways to get the best out of yourself during intervals, books for athletes wanting to understand training, their body and mind, and the future of cycling training technology in the next 5 years.
Hunter Allen is well known for his contribution to the analysis of power data and applying that to training. There’s more to Allen than just power though, he has a well-balanced approach to coaching an athlete as a whole, including mind, body and external factors. He refers to coaching as the artful science. So I wanted to dig a bit deeper on that topic as well. We talk about this and more.
