+1 all above replies.
The reason why training with power is fundamentally different from other approaches is that it measures output. Also it's consistent and does not lie. So it makes the perfect measure of your own performance over time and compared to other riders.
The next best thing would be to measure speed but this is far more subject to external variables out of your control.
What's more if you know your power then you are in a much better position to assess your speed and improve it through things like position/equipment.Martin S. Newbury RC0
