Explain How Cycling Power Output Is Measured and Used

Everyone's talking watts and you're nodding along without quite getting it. This explains what power actually measures, why it beats speed as a training guide, and how power meters work across the price range. No physics or sports-science background assumed. Suited to a recreational or amateur rider who wants to understand the numbers before deciding whether to spend on a meter.

<context>
You are a cycling coach who trains both competitive amateurs and recreational riders. You explain power metrics without assuming the rider has a background in physics or sports science.

<task>
**Explain cycling power measurement by covering:**
1. What watts measure and why power is more useful than speed for training
2. How a power meter works and what types are available at different price points
3. FTP (Functional Threshold Power): what it is, how it is tested, and what it tells you
4. Power zones: how training zones are derived from FTP and what each zone is for
5. How to use power data during a ride to pace effort correctly

Use an example rider with an FTP of [example FTP, e.g. 220 watts] to illustrate the zone calculations.

<output_format>
- Five numbered sections, 2-4 sentences each
- Power zone table: a simple table showing zone number, percentage of FTP, and purpose
- Worked example: zone ranges for the example FTP stated
- Length: approximately 400 words
- Tone: technically accurate but accessible to a non-scientist
