With the recent releases of the 2nd edition of Training & Racing with a Power Meter (text) and version 3.0 of WKO+ (software) there also comes the added complexity of some new tools. These tools are designed to better utilize power data for prescribing future training based on strengths, weaknesses, and limiters; to improve future racing fitness & results. They include Multi-file Analysis, Quadrant Analysis, Scatter Diagrams, and Fatigue Profiling. I have been working diligently to get my head wrapped around these new tools in order to better assist my coaching clients. Daily progress is being made

The "Tool of the Day" is Fatigue Profiling. This one currently has my full attention. I always thought there was something lacking in Power Profiling because it seemed to not address fatigue resistance unless 60 minute time trials were added (not many clients wanted to do this one). Coupling Fatigue Profiling with the Power Profiling provides me with a tool that allows for better determination of Strengths/Weaknesses/Limiters; better than only using peak power over the chosen durations (5 sec, 1 min, 5 min, 20 min) via. Power Profiling. In all reality, it dissects the Mean Maximal Power Curve to make it more meaningful.

My coaching services are set up ala carte. Basic coaching provides a client with a monthly plan along with weekly interaction based on necessary changes & performance to plan. I also review any significant power files. Most clients believe that this service is a great value in coaching (relative to the $80/month fee, less if a current member of a sponsored team). So with that being said, I'd like to apply Fatigue Profiling to current clients for a nominal fee of $25. This will be about  a 1 hour long process for me. It will provide both of us (coach & client) further insight on what's best for future training. Please let me know if you're interested in learning more. Thanks for reading!
