In 2005, after nearly two years of hounding the publishers at VeloPress, they finally agreed to publishing this crazy book about power meters. Dr. Coggan and Hunter hammered out the outline one evening while teaching the Boston power course and got to work writing “Training and Racing with a Power Meter.”
That book was published in January of 2006 and instantly became the guide and reference on training with a power meter.
Back at Peaks Coaching Group, Hunter added more coaches to his team, along with a great coach and Marketing Director, Jeb Stewart. With the success of the book, coaching and software sales continued to grow at a rapid rate.
Later in 2006, Version 2.0 of CyclingPeaks software was launched to continued success as well. From 2007-2009, Hunter travelled to over 10 different countries and taught all over the United States, to coaches and athletes alike, spreading the knowledge of “power” and the “power” of knowledge. In 2009, CyclingPeaks was renamed to WKO+, having been revised by super programmer Jeffrey Hovorka. WKO stands for “workout” and the file extension on the program has always been .wko.
The 2nd edition of “Training and Racing with a Power Meter” was also published the Fall of 2010 and continues to sell thousands of copies to this day in several languages.
The 3rd Edition of "Training and Racing with a Power Meter" will be released in January of 2019.
