  • Why racing with power is like cheating for triathletes;
  • Why roadies need power to measure strength (and recovery);
  • The value of functional testing
  • The “real” power training zones
  • Computrainers vs PowerStudios vs Powermeters, and
  • How you can train like a powermeter athlete even if you don’t have one (yet!)

The seminar will have plenty of time for Q&A, so bring all your questions!

    Trainers are also hard on tires, particularly mountain bike and cyclocross tires, which are more knobby to provide traction. Many riders will swap out their regular tires for a trainer tire, specially designed to withstand the friction involved with cycling training.
