14. Two Approaches to training Traditional Technical Swim a lot Bike a lot Run a lot Swim tech: Limited GPS Limited Heart Rate Bike tech: HR Monitor GPS Power Meter Run tech: HR Monitor GPS Foot pod (Nike+)
15. Six Sigma – Belts Earned, Lessons Learned I worked for both Motorola (creator) and General Electric (largest user) You must quantify and measure a parameter in order to control it Six Sigma is mostly worthless
16. Important Parameters for Cycling Speed Most important! Improvement here is the goal Difficult to improve by itself, combination of lots of factors, both internal and external Power to Weight ratio (Strength to Weight) Most accurate predictor of cycling performance Measured in Watts/Kg Lactate Threshold Power (FTP, CP30) Directly measured output of your body Lactate Threshold Heart Rate Directly measured reaction of your body
18. 2010 Average CP30 (30 Min Critical Power) CP30 is a very good approximation of Functional Threshold Power (FTP)
19. Heart Rate I don’t track my Lactate Threshold HR very closely I use HR as a guideline for when I don’t feel good – it’s a backup for my power meter. Mean Maximal HR, 2010 Running
22. Summary Most Athletes don’t own power meters, too expensive Those that do typically don’t know how to analyze the data This gives me an advantage, even over those who are more talented than I am By quantifying my performance, I am better able to identify effective training practices chris.teague@gmail.com http://breakneckgeek.blogspot.com/
