I wrote to you last week about focusing your training on quality to deliver more POWER and better PERFORMANCE. A this time in the training year I conduct a review of how my athletes are progressing in terms of their power development over the training season. Training with power means that results are 100% quantifiable. You are either improving or not because a watt today is the same a watt tomorrow. There is no debate, not ifs and buts. If you are not becoming more powerful then either I am not doing my job or you are not sticking to the programme!
Bottom line is that focussing your training on POWER and PERFORMANCE delivers quantifiable results. Even if you don't have a power meter to accurately measure these improvements don't worry - you will be getting better!
