Power Testing:
The power meter is the single most important tool that a
triathlete can own when it comes to cycling. It’s so
important, I would recommend a $1200 bike with a
power meter instead of a $5000 bike without one!
Training and racing with power gives the triathlete
instant feedback that is real and useful during a
training ride and/or race! This field test can be done
either indoors on a trainer or outside with Coach
Ryan. Following well established protocols, the
athlete will be put through a 1 hour workout that will
be used to determine the triathletes
Functional Threshold Power (FTP), which all training
zones re then set off of. The bottom line, this workout
hurts. Starting out at and maintaining the proper
pacing throughout the entire time trial is essential to
its accuracy... that is why it’s good to have the coach
with you to assist in pacing and motivation as
needed!
Rates are:
(indoors)- $60 per test
(outdoors)- $85 per test

*If you wish to combine Power testing with video tape analysis
and/or CT analysis, contact Contact Coach Ryan.
