He emphasizes that data is not a training plan in itself, but rather a tool to measure what's working and what's not in your training plan. Nathan outlines six steps to integrating data into your plan: working out your threshold power, converting your training plan into power using intensity, building out your base period, lifting your threshold during the build period, building stamina, and creating a race strategy. He emphasizes the importance of evaluating your race strategy and using data to inform future training.
