Basic concepts
Why train by power
Power lets you measure effort directly and structure workouts more precisely than by sensations or speed alone.
Recommended steps
- Power does not depend as much on wind, gradient, or terrain.
- It allows intensities to be adjusted to your level.
- It makes it easier to compare efforts between days.
- It helps follow structured plans.
- It does not completely replace sensations: it complements them.
- With a reasonable FTP, Vin can adapt workouts better.
