A Team Tolero instructional Coaching Series written by Arizona's only USA Cycling Certified Power Based Training Coach - Robert Fleckenstein (USA Cycling Level II Coach)
Should I invest in a power meter for my cycling training?
Although Pro cycling teams have been training and racing with power meters for some time now, it is just recently that power meters have become more affordable and cyclists and coaches have become more knowledgeable in interpreting the data collected by power meters, thus helping amateur cyclists to perform at their best. This is exciting news for all cyclists.
Cyclists spend hundreds and even thousands of dollars to add new bicycle components that are lighter and offer the most advanced technological advances in titanium, carbon fiber and other materials. This is all done in an effort to make us go faster on a bike or to help us keep up with the competition.
The question arises whether one should invest in the purchase of a power meter to improve as a cyclist? The additional question that I am asked the most often is, how can a power meter help me versus a regular disciplined training regimen, to improve my cycling performance and efficiency?
My usual response is: What if you could add one component to your bike that will likely provide the biggest dividend for your investment in sweat and hard work and provide you with objective data that will let you know if you are making progress with your training towards your cycling goals? Of course, similar to any training aid it is still up to the individual athlete to stay focused on improving. A power meter can ultimately make you smarter in how you approach your training and can help you monitor and stay on track towards your goals.
While watching the Tour of California or the Tour de France have you ever wondered why certain riders excel in different stages of the overall race? Some are sprinters and they dominate the first week, but then most of the sprinters wither away when the stages go to the mountains and why are certain riders top time-trialists, racing against the clock? The answer to this question is that all cyclists are genetically predisposed to ride a certain way. That is, they have inherent strengths and weaknesses based upon many physiological factors. A power meter can help identify those strengths and weaknesses and it can be utilized to build upon both.
Many of us log our ride metrics such as distances, cadence averages, heart rate averages, speed averages, in order to gain a better perspective on the progress we are making in our cycling training. However, even with all of this data, what about that elusive objective question - Am I getting stronger? How does one gauge improvement without any empirical, objective data. Thus, enter the power meter. The bottom line is that a power meter is ruthlessly honest and completely objective. It does not lie, nor can it fudge a performance or workout.
Power meters record massive amounts of data that provide a second-by-second ride diary of any given training ride or race. As a result, a power meter can serve as a great motivator to the individual rider and act as an on-board coach watching your effort objectively through empirical, quantifiable data.
The power meters strength and value is that a cyclist can see their seasonal progress right there in front of them in the power data computer analysis files. Gaining the ability to track changes in performance is possibly one of the most exciting reasons to train with a power meter. Over time, you will know whether your fitness is improving and by how much. Also, with analytical software, power meter data allows one to see how their training stress load is dispersed and this helps ensure that one is reaching their true potential, but carefully monitoring that they do not over train.
As stated prior, a power meter through accurate testing protocols can help identify and measure your strengths and weaknesses and build upon them. By training in specific power zones, a cyclist equipped with a power meter can perform training sessions and intervals that can target those strengths and weaknesses to become a more efficient rider and actually save time training.
As a case example in the use of a power meter to focus training to a specific race event, an amateur cyclist who was interested in competing in a flat time trial event of 40 kilometers (24.8 miles) approached me with their goal of finishing under one hour and 15 minutes for this event. Initial testing determined that this athletes threshold power was 235 watts at an average speed of 22 mph. That is, they could hold 235 watts for approximately one hour without significant fatigue. Unfortunately this riders primary training rides during the week only consisted of a weekend club ride and two one-hour rides in which their threshold power was only steady at 165 watts, thus the athlete would not be properly training for this event and would need to incorporate specific training sessions that would target their threshold power zone of 235 watts.
After following specific workouts that targeted their threshold training zone of 235 watts, the athlete was be able to replicate the 40 kilometer event by utilizing a power meter and closely monitoring their pacing efforts. Interestingly, the power meter indicated after two months of training that the athletes threshold power actually increased to 250 watts with an average speed of 24.6 mph on the time trial bike, thus becoming stronger and faster. The athletes threshold training zone was adjusted up to 250 watts and the athlete trained at this new power zone, resulting in a better time and speed then their original goal for the 40 kilometers. By carefully training in the right power zone and utilizing the power meter to evenly pace their effort for the race, they shaved 16 minutes from their original goal and actually finished under one hour. Finishing below one hour in the 40K time trial is considered the gold standard for competitive cyclists.
Ultimately, after training with a power meter for approximately six months, a cyclists mind and body will learn where their sweet spot of power is and this can provide a psychological boost and added confidence in their ability to push their efforts on the bike.
A brief explanation of Functional Threshold Power
There are quite a few terms in the lexicon of power meter training and they can be confusing. You will hear Functional Threshold Power (FTP), Average Power, Critical Power, Normalized Power and Peak Power. In the following months, I hope to explain these terms to you all as we apply them to our overall training. A definitive book on the subject is Training and Racing with a Power Meter by Andrew Coggan and Hunter Allen.
Functional Threshold Power is the highest power that a rider can maintain in a quasi-steady state without fatiguing for approximately one hour. Think one-hour 40K time trial. It is the threshold (LT) at which an athlete begins to accumulate lactate in the blood and FTP is considered a powerful predictor of an athletes endurance performance ability.Your Functional Threshold Power will determine the seven power training zones that an athlete can begin to incorporate into their overall seasonal training plan. The seven power training zones will be explained in another Coach's Corner installment.
The first voluntary test protocol for all Team Tolero members that we are currently conducting is a test to establish your respective Functional Threshold Power (FTP). The FTP test is a 20-minute effort, after a warm up, in which you will ride a steady-state effort as a hard 7 or 8 on a scale of 1-10 on the Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE). This test is best done on an indoor trainer to control the environment or a steady climb, such as the base of Catalina Highway to Molino Basin or beyond.
Power Meter Terminology Continued - (Subject: Power Training Zones)
Once you establish your Functional Threshold Power (FTP) and Power-To-Weight Ratio utilizing a Power Meter, the next concept to become familiar with are your Power Training Zones. These are the zones that you will specifically follow during your individual training plan.
Below is a brief explanation of these seven zones and the wattage relative to your FTP. These will always be pegged to your FTP and will change throughout your cycling season.
Active Recovery this level can be characterized as easy spinning or light pedaling, typically used the next day after strenuous rides. The percentage of functional threshold power is less than 55%.
Endurance level this level is characterized as a long slow distance ride. The percentage of functional threshold power is 56% - 75%.
Tempo - this level is characterized as a spirited group ride. The percentage of functional threshold power is 76% - 90%.
Lactate Threshold - this level is characterized as just above or below a time trial effort ride. The percentage of functional threshold power is 91% - 105%.
VO2 MAX - this level represents an interval workout of efforts between 3-to-8 minutes, intended to increase VO2 Max. The percentage of functional threshold power is 106% - 120%.
Anaerobic Capacity - this level represents an interval workout of short efforts between 30 seconds-to-3 minutes, designed to increase anaerobic capacity. The percentage of functional threshold power is 121% - 150%.
Neuromuscular Power - this level represents a maximal, very short, high intensity interval workout designed to place stress on the musculoskeletal rather than metabolic systems. Power is useful as a guide, but only in reference to prior similar efforts.
Power-meter terminology continued-
Continuing along in explaining the terminology of Power meter training, we have thus far covered what Functional Threshold Power (FTP) represents, how to calculate your Power-To-Weight Ratio and the seven Power Training Zones.
The next two terms to become familiar with are the terms Average Power and Normalized Power.
Average Power collected from a power meter is similar to average heart rate that a heart rate monitor collects, that tells a rider at the end of their ride what their respective average heart rate was for the entire ride duration. Average power is just that, an average. It tells you only what your average power was for the entire ride. Average power is not useful in understanding how well you performed overall, unless it is from a time trial effort or steady state hill climb, such as Windy Point.
To gain a better understanding of how well you performed and to drill down into the particulars of a given training ride or race, a power file must be analyzed and understood in the context of the second term, Normalized Power (NP). The term Normalized Power is the brain child of Andrew Coggan and Hunter Allen, the gurus of power meter training. Normalized Power is an algorithm only available in the power meter analysis software, Training Peaks WKO+.
The physiological basis for the Normalized Power algorithm recognizes that the act of riding, training and racing a bicycle is highly variable. Thus average power does not reflect the physiological cost that various factors such as wind, hills, accelerations and other things play on a rider. Normalized Power provides a more accurate way to quantify the actual intensity of training efforts or races by estimating the wattage, as if a rider were to have pedaled smoothly for an entire effort. In essence, the power that your body thinks it is doing.
The algorithm accounts for two key aspects in a training session by first, recognizing that physiological responses to rapid changes in exercise intensity are not instantaneous, but follow a predictable time course; and second, certain physiological responses such as lactate production and glycogen utilization are represented on curved lines related to exercise intensity, rather than linear.
As a real world example, my Average power for a 3 hour Team Tolero Saturday endurance ride might only be 163 watts. However, when I analyze my power file in WKO+, my Normalized Power was actually 212 watts, reflecting the truely hard effort. Normalized Power will always be higher then Average Power. If the ride is a steady state effort such as a time trial or constant hill climb, normalized and average power will be very close in wattage.
Cycling Specific Weight Training
As we enter the off-season for the months of December January, below are some cycling specific weight training regimens to begin to incorporate into your off-season/transition period. For those of you that will not be riding in the Cochise Classic or El Tour 109 miler, you can begin these weight and plyo workouts in October.
I have pulled these from my cycling coaching continuing education training and from Harvey Newtons book Weight Training for Cyclists. Now, you dont have to read it.
First, is a list of exercises that are geared specifically to your cycling strength needs and target the different muscle sets. Dont do leg curls or seated leg extensions - bad. The second list is a workout list that incorporates a balance of the exercises from different areas. Basically, you can print these out and take it to the gym to follow. Mix and match as you wish.
During the off-season, you will want to focus on doing two cycling specific weight workouts each week. In addition, a weekly plyometric workout should also be incorporated into your off-season training. I will follow with a couple plyometric workouts to incorporate into the off-season. Your off-season training plan will also include one on-bike ride a week, such as a Saturday team ride.
As you enter into the training season, you will scale back to once a week weight training for maintenance purposes.
The key to weight training and plyometrics during this transitional period is to focus on strength and power to address any perceived weaknesses that you need to build up. It is only for a short period of time in the overall season.

Race Squad Proclamation
As a member of the Arizona Bicycle Race Association & USA Cycling Association, our team holds much promise for success for all of us. In order to keep the channels of communication open for all of us team members, I think it is important to state that our goals for the season and races are meant to be fun, but competitive.
The objective is to place Tolero Racing members in the top positions for each race. The method in which we will employ to achieve these results will be to follow the Pro team concept. That is, the team will support a #1 and #2 Tolero Racing rider for each race that we participate in.
For PBAA events our primary Tolero Racing strategy should be to get all team members into Platinum. In this case the team will act as domestiques for riders seeking to finish in a Platinum time, supporting them all the way. Once all Tolero Racing riders are Platinum we will focus on bringing our best effort to function as a unit.
The plan is to utilize the entire team to achieve success for Tolero Racing overall, by driving home our guys to the finish line. During the training months we will further advance our team skills such as practicing attacking scenarios, practicing our sprint train drills and other tactics. It is important to remember that each of us play a critical role as an individual racer, contributing to the team effort. No one is better then anyone else. We all share in this endeavor.
Throughout the season we will continually identify our strengths as cyclists and what role each of us can play at each race. These decisions are not set in stone and we will have ample opportunity to discuss and play things out in post-ride team discussions and strategy meetings after Saturday practice rides.
Here is the vision for each race that we will participate as a team. There will be at least 10-12 domestiques for each race, whose multi-faceted responsibilities will be to sacrifice themselves in support of the #1 and #2 riders and getting someone in green on the podium. The domestiques will play a critical role in surprise attacking and chasing down breakaways, setting the pace, keeping the designated leaders safe and rested and also possibly setting up the sprint train. Based on fitness and growth of all team members, we should always have a minimum of 5 riders capable of fulfilling the #1 and #2 leader positions for upcoming races. All potential #1 and #2 riders will get equal chances to be the leaders during the season.
Domestique Sub-Categories/ Roles
The following subcategories build upon our strengths. These are not set in stone and changes can be made based upon input from you all. We all have strengths and this list is designed to maximize our strengths at this time. We can interchange Tolero Racing members as needed and based upon the wishes of individual Tolero Racing members. Remember the following lists are all support roles for the #1 and #2, utilizing team tactics to achieve our race goals.
Hill Attack riders These riders acting in a domestique role would be responsible for launching attacks at certain key points or locations on the race course to surprise our opponents and chase down climbers breaking away.
Flat attack riders - These riders acting in a domestique role would be responsible for launching attacks at certain key points or locations on the race course to surprise our opponents and chase down breakaways.
Pace-Setters - These riders acting in a domestique role would be responsible for setting the pace, by pushing the group and controlling the pace against our competitors, as well as chase down breakaways.
Sprint finish Train members - These riders acting in a domestique role would be responsible for setting up a sprint finish by controlling the lead pace and keeping the competition strung out. At a designated distance from the finish line, these riders would take successive timed pulls to bring the leader up to the finish line for a sprint finish launch.
Note: Many of these roles will overlap depending upon the positioning of riders in the race. For instance, if one is dragging ass at the back on that given day, it is unlikely that they will be doing a hill attack or chasing down someone on a climb. We will have to be fluid and adaptable as a team. Quick, tactical decisions will be critical on race day. Everyone must be mindful of this and respond to these with your best individual effort for the team.
Summary: Utilizing the team approach, we will devise a strategy for each race on a case-by-case basis. We will pre-ride the courses when possible to become familiar with the terrain, discuss as a team the best tactics to employ for each race and replicate the race through practice drills. As the race approaches, I will email the detailed strategy that we have agreed upon and practiced for each of you to commit to memory. We will stick to the plan and remain disciplined. This way we will all be on the same page tactically and strategically.

Development Squad Proclamation
Welcome to the Development Squad of Tolero Racing.
The primary reason that Tolero Racing has formed a Development Squad is to help new members to become properly prepared for cycling race events and to ensure their safety. We want you to be challenged, but also to have fun. If you are thrown into a race environment such as a competitive USCF event and get dropped right away, this can be discouraging to any rider. Therefore, our philosophy is to bring Development Squad members under our wings and show them the ropes and stand behind them for their training and fitness development.
The Development Squad will meet each Saturday along with the Race Squad at the pre-selected location (the Development Squad will roll out 10 minutes before the Race Squad). The Development Squad will follow the same route as the Race Squad, but at a pace that will be beneficial to that groups development under the coaching staff's specific direction. At times, a "Race Squad Member" lead the development Squad to work on a specific goal. The team Coach or Director will be responsible for providing direction on appropriate pace , guidance on paceline techniques, bike safety and bike handling skills. A weekly email will be sent to all team members indicating the location and time of the Saturday club/training ride.
Once a Development Squad member advances their confidence in their cycling skills and meets all the requirements of a Race Squad member, they can put in a request to the Team Director for their desire to join the Race Squad. At that time they will be invited to join in the Saturday Race Squad peleton and a power-meter test will be scheduled with the Team Coach (review Race Squad requirement #8 for further details regarding this specific test). If they can successfully keep pace with the Race Squad and have earned the race squad's confidence in their overall riding ability, the team leaders will take a vote and an offer to join the Race Squad will be extended.
A Development Squad member may also choose to not to move up to the Race Squad. There is NO pressure!! The Development Squad is a great place to enjoy the fun & camaraderie that is part of the cycling culture here in our Southern Arizona community.
Requirements for Race Squad members:
1) Read and Accept the Terms of the Race Squad Proclamation. All members should understand our team goals and mission statement, and the objectives to place Tolero Racing members in the top positions for each race.
2) Meet the monthly requirement of 2 training rides (during the USA Cycling season, which is January thru May and the Fall Classics, which is July through November).
3) Meet the annual requirement of participating in 8 sanctioned USA Cycling races or Perimeter Cycling events each year (This does not include any race promoted by Tolero Racing).
4) Provide volunteer assistance for Tolero Racing promoted events and/or our Sponsors events.
5) Train individually during the week to improve or maintain cycling fitness level. The Team Coach will assist and help all race members plan their training regimen.
6) Excellent bike handling skills, pace-line techniques, knowledge of race day tactics, bike maintenance and nutrition are expected of all Race Squad members.
7) Strictly follow the Saturday Team Training objectives that are communicated via email on a weekly basis by the Team Coach and reiterated prior to rolling out.
8) Successfully sustain a power-to-weight ratio of 3.2 watts per kilogram of body weight on the bike. This specific test will be conducted with a power-meter. This test is necessary because based upon the best sports science this is the cutoff for competitive cyclists at the Category 5 level. A power meter and wheel can be provided if a member does not have one. Routine testing will be done throughout the season.
9) Take your respective turn in being a Ride Leader for our Development Squad group ride.
10) A Race Squad member will be required to wear a full Team Kit (jersey & bib) for all group rides & races they participate in.
12) A Race Squad Member will be required to purchase an annual USA Cycling racing license and attach themselves to Team Tolero
13) Sign Annual membership & waiver form.
14) Pay annual membership dues.
Requirements for Development Squad members:
1) Read and Accept the Terms of the Development Squad Proclamation
2) Train individually during the week to improve or maintain cycling fitness level. Team Coach and experienced team members will assist and help all new members plan their training regimen; additionally provide advice regarding "on-board" fueling such as quantities of fluid to take on board, what to eat, etc.
3) Advance your bike handling skills, group riding confidence and pace-line technique to where your fellow team members trust your abilities. Bike preparation will also be encouraged & supported by experienced team members.
4) A Development Squad member will be required to wear a Team Jersey & standard black bib/shorts for all group rides & races they participate in.
5) Sign Annual membership & waiver form.
6) Pay annual membership dues.
USA Cycling Racing 101
The USA Cycling Association is the governing body that provides the rules, regulations, certifications, ranking, officials, points, etc. for all USA races. Each State has their own regional chapter (in our case it is 'ABRA' Arizona Bicycle Racing Association) that provides the local support for the races and is the liaison between the riders/clubs and the USCF. The USCF regulates road, mountain Track, Cyclo-cross and BMX for both amateur and pro athletes. The USAC has 5 categories for a rider to compete in for all road races: Category 5 (entry level) thru Category 1 (Pro Rider). All riders that participate in USAC races are required to have a USAC racing license (that is renewed on annual basis).
Riders can race as an individual (also referred to as an unattached rider) or they can race as a member of a sanctioned USCF club. Racers are awarded points for each race they participate in and these points count toward individual and team results/contests. The following steps will allow you to participate in USAC races:
Step #1: Join the Race Squad for Team Tolero (a USAC Team)
Step#2: Visit www.usacycling.org Sign up as a new member and purchase an annual road racing license( $60). This license is good from January 1st December 31st. IMPORTANT: ATTACH YOURSELF TO TEAM TOLERO. After your race season is underway, you can visit this website to see how you rank against other riders and to check out the cool membership perks and get the latest pro cycling news. Also read their FAQs that discuss categories, how to upgrade, etc.
Step#3: Visit www.azcycling.com (ABRA) and select Calendar to identify the upcoming races. During the race season this is where you will go to register for an upcoming race (by clicking on the hyperlink available on the ABRA race calendar. This website will also post your results and points accumulated for the Copper Cup Series (an annual individual and team points contest) Expect to pay $25 to $70 for races (i.e. 1 day races are about $25 and 3 day stage races are $70).
All races are hosted by each of the USAC racing teams. Typical racing formats are Time Trials (TT), Road Races (RR) Circuit Races, and Crits. Team Toleros race season focuses on the stage races and road races and the occasional Team Time Trial. Visit Team Toleros website to determine what races the team are planning on participating in. Of course each member is encouraged to race in as many races as they can possibly do, in addition to the selected team races.
