So.. Hello everyone. First post on these forums. Picked up a powertap wheelset last week and I've been reading the new edition of Racing and Training with a power meter. I've learned a lot so far and look forward to learning more as I go.
I picked up a license for WKO+ and I use a Garmin 705 on my bike.
I'm confused though..
In the book they recommend 7 power zones.. However in WKO only 5 zones are automatically created for me. I used the chart in the book to create my 7 zones and manually put them in. On the Garmin there are 7 zones as well.
What is best? 5 or 7 zones? I thought that since the book so strongly pushes the use of WKO that they would match up and I would see the same number of zones. A friend of mine trains with 5 zones and his team also trains with 5.
Just curious what you all think on the subject.
