Getting Started – Team contributions

Getting Started – Team contributions

The book wouldn’t be the book it is without contributions and feedback from the testing team – some major, some less so.

Changes based on feedback from the testing team

Here are some major changes:

👉🏼 Re-wrote Chapter 10 ‘Power-Duration’ from the point of view of fatigue, which makes much more sense than the previous explanation
👉🏼 Added Chapter 6 ‘Example combinations’ to show equipment and app combinations proven to work well together
👉🏼 Moved Part 3 ‘Setups and Configs’ and some of Part 1 online, as power equipment & apps are still developing rapidly.

And some not so major, but just as important:

⚡ Added runner ages (to the nearest decade) to the runner stories – power works no matter your age
⚡ Added ‘key takeaway’ items throughout
⚡ Removed the ‘try it yourself’ phrase when referring to activities
⚡ Added emphasis on why it’s critical to include enough recovery (‘magic time’) in your training schedule

Reflections on involving a testing team

I’m really glad I worked with a testing team.

The team acted as editors and an early book audience, identifying where things weren’t as clear as they could be, especially for readers with English as an additional language.

I’m indebted to my testing team and would use the same approach for any future ‘practical’ books – Thanks folks!
