If you are serious about training and going big for a particular event start using the PMC. Not all of it, but a large, large portion.
What I learned from the model (and continue to do so) forms the foundation of my philosophy as a coach. I am proud of the work I did as a beta tester. These days the model is called the Performance Manager Chart or PMC. To this day TSTWKT is printed on the back of the collar of the FasCat Jerseys. And for the short period of time the name stuck I quietly enjoyed how it caught on. In the aftermath of the article someone, somewhere in one of the online power based web forums began using the acronym TSTWKT. It truly is our secret weapon that we (mostly Andy) have/has developed which we are using to our competitive advantage.
Wko 4.0 trial#
Since I was a time trial enthusiast, I liked the way Armstrong called his F One equipment "The Shit that Will Kill Them".Īnd so when I was writing about the model for my monthly PEZ training article it came to me, this model is The Shit that Will Kill Them.
Wko 4.0 how to#
At the time, the model was not available to the public and rather than try to tiptoe around what it was and how it worked, I decided to hype the model a tad while describing the broader purpose - how to use it to manage your training load (CTL or chronic training load) to achieve a peak performance (TSB or training stress balance) - and how it led to my successful performance at the CO State Time Trials that year.Īlso during this time, I was reading Daniel Coyle's " Lance Armstrong’s War". The following month in July I gave PEZCyclingNews the first look at the model in an article entitled " Finding Form: A Power-Based Performance Model". The end result was a performance of a lifetime (a true peak), which I am very proud of to this day. Soon I began planning out my training using a TSS for each day of training and using the model to peak for the Colorado State Time Trial.
It wasn't long before the beta testers all got together online and began discussing every aspect of their training and their subsequent all time best performances.
Wko 4.0 plus#
Everyday I returned home with great enthusiasm to download my SRM power data and analyze how each day's TSS affected the model, my power output & performance, plus how it felt. A week later I joined a group of 12 or so athletes, coaches and sports scientists as beta testers for this 3rd generation power-based impulse-response model.Īs a beta tester, I figured the best way to understand the complexities of the model was to use my own data. I had seen Andy present before but during his talk he began to present on a impulse-response model he was working on.Īt the end of Andy's talk, I asked how I could use the model and a few hours later a complicated spreadsheet showed up in my inbox. Andy Coggan, Ph.D present on training with power. In the Fall of 2004, I attended USA Cycling's Coaches Summit where I had the pleasure of seeing Dr.
