Yet here I am reading a thread with people that not only paid for a power meter but they also pay a coach to read the data. My comment refers to the fact that the software (in my opinion) still appears to take a huge amount of data and present it factually without enough interpretation for the average guy (me).
Maybe things have got better but it seems that a power meter with software still requires training knowledge before it becoms a power meter training tool.
