It's been a long time coming, but good things come to those who wait. Dr. Skiba's latest book, The Triathlete's Guide to Training With Power is now available!
The Triathlete's Guide to Training With Power isn't a textbook about bicycle power meters (although that is certainly an important part of the story). Rather, Dr. Skiba explains that power-based training is a way of thinking. It is a way of basing your training in all three sports on how much work you do, and how fast you do that work. This is important, because the human body responds to those things very specifically. If you are willing to carefully track your training, and then adjust your training to how your body responds, you can reap substantial benefits.
Through The Triathlete's Guide to Training With Power, you will learn a thought process that will help you train for any triathlon, at any distance, irrespective of your experience or ability. Using easy to understand language, Dr. Skiba will teach you the very same evidence-based techniques he uses to train both age-group athletes and world class professionals. From deciding on "training zones", to constructing workouts, to building a whole season, Dr. Skiba explains how to use very basic principles to advance your abilities.
Just like Scientific Training for Triathletes, The Triathlete's Guide to Training with Power is heavily referenced, so that you can always seek out more information should you choose to do so. Whether it is plyometric training to improve power and economy, correcting the misconceptions of periodization, exploding the myths of recovery, or explaining the thought process behind the tools used to direct training and predict performance, Dr. Skiba brings out the important points and eliminates the fluff.
