Running power provides second-by-second numbers that ππππππ πππ‘ your effort – your running intensity.
By doing this, power solves issues associated with other measures of intensity:
πΈ Heart Rate (HR) βlagsβ when you change effort levels, and it can βdriftβ on longer runs.
πΈ Pace is affected by hilly or windy conditions, and itβs very easy to choose a goal time that isn’t based on your current fitness β leading to training injuries and bonking or ‘hitting the wall’.
πΈ Perceived effort can take years to develop β a luxury most recreational runners donβt have.
That said, there are a few things that are different about running with power:
πΉ Itβs individual β your targets are based on what you can do right now.
πΉ It includes maximum effort runs β to track your current fitness.
πΉ Youβll need apps β to calculate consolidated metrics.
πΉ Itβs new, and the concepts and supporting apps aren’t always easy to use.
