I prefer to read the various sites about sports physiology and blogs from coaches that I've found and and get the ideas of others to tailor my own training plan for myself. I don't train for competitions on amateur or professional levels. I just do what gets me to a goal I set. And I'm not in any desperate desire to achieve any particular goal the day after I set it.

Power meters tend to eliminate a lot of the stuff that gets tossed around and argued in HR training. But the basic of ideas in training with a power meter are still pretty much the same as training with an HR monitor and even the same as the training methods that were used before either. One of which is ride. Ride often and ride long. The other is occasionally do some very intense efforts for certain types of segments of your rides.

I did look briefly at the site you ask, but only briefly. Looks like many others that claim to have a plan.
Xert has a few "whiz bang" features that seem to set it apart from much of the competition. I was wondering whether anyone found or thought them useful.
