To all:
I'm new to power training with a recently purchased Powertap. Only 2 rides.
I'm 39 and this summer was my first season racing. Ended the season pretty well with a number of top 5 places as well as my first win last month.
My biggest questions are:
Thanks in advance

I'm 39 and this summer was my first season racing. Ended the season pretty well with a number of top 5 places as well as my first win last month.
My biggest questions are:
- Has anyone usd the new power agent software and compared it to cycling peaks? +/- 's
- Where can you find more complete information on using all of the functions of cycling peaks (ie set up work out comparisions etc.) without attending a seminar ?
- In your opinions what is the best guidelines or information to effectively set up my winter/spring training program. I don't mind working the training program details out myself but after I perform my critical power tests. 20min LT test plus establish CP.2 CP1, CP6, CP12 etc. What then ? It seems that between Joe F. and others much of the training program needs to be based on current fitness level/expected type of A events (road races,crits,TT's) and time to those A events and of course areas of weaknesses. I'm just at a loss for how to approach winter/spring training based on what seems like alot of general guidlines out there. Who has experienced a similar situation and how did you manage to develop your program? What things should I avoid and what advice do you have?
Thanks in advance
