TARWAPM Edition 2



For those that don't know Hunter Allen and Andrew Coggan will be releasing a second edition of Training and Racing with a Power Meter. This should be available early April this year.
It contains a number of updates plus several new chapters covering new areas and tools in WKO.

The Doctor is back in the Lab

In other exciting (well if you like numbers exciting) news Dr Andrew Coggan is also currently working on a reformulation of the TSS metric and performance manager.

First proposed by Banister et al. in 1975, this model, and/or variations thereof, has been repeatedly shown to accurately predict training-induced changes in performance (both positive and negative) in a wide variety of endurance and non-endurance sports. The impulse-response model has therefore been successfully used to design theoretically-ideal training programs, optimize tapering regimens, evaluate the effects (or lack thereof) of cross-training in triathletes, etc. However, this model also has a number of inherent limitations, which tend to limit its usefulness outside of a laboratory setting.

The details are very scarce other then Dr Coggan posting teasers on the Wattage Group list, but it currently was a working title of TSS 2.0.
