Episode Become a Faster Cyclist With a Power Meter | Ep 495

0:00 19:28

Coach Rob delves into how triathletes should use power meters to optimise their training and deliver faster bike splits without compromising run performances.

From installation to understanding fluctuating power numbers, Rob explains how power meters offer more consistent and reliable feedback than heart rate monitors, especially during races.

Learn about:

👉 Setting up your Garmin with the right data fields

👉 Interpreting 1, 10, and 30-second average power

👉 The importance of normalized power

👉 How to use training stress score (TSS), intensity factor (IF), and variability index (VI) to gauge and improve your performance.

Ideal for triathletes and cyclists aiming to enhance their bike splits and overall race performance.
