Wattage controlled intervals improve performance

There have been some delays in the final tests in the Power Meter Project, but I have received some test results and race reports that indicate improvements. I’m impressed by the participants because I know they have been through some tough interval workouts during the last 12 weeks. Wattage-controlled intervals are a great way to control the pace and secure that the rider trains exactly the physiological skill he is interested in.

I have received incredible results from Paul Skiba and Gonzalo Vilaseca. I will post some comments on these results soon, but you are welcome to take a closer look at them now. I have not seen how many watts Marc Moeller could do in the final week, but I know that he has made some great results in a couple of cycling races. Please consider that podium places are more important than watts on your PowerTap anyway.
