Running with Power: The Basics

Is power the next great running metric?

According to Stryd (who sell a power footpod), the number of runners uploading power data from the World Marathon Majors has doubled every year since 2016. And all of the major running watch manufacturers include wrist-based power in their new models.

Is Running with Power a magic bullet? or a passing fad?

It's neither. Running with Power gives you the greatest chance of achieving your best performance, while minimising injury risk.

What is Running with Power?

Running with Power uses power rather than pace or heart rate to gauge your running intensity. It can appear complicated at first - that's because power is based on how your body reacts when you exercise, and those reactions are themselves complex.

But power is also simple. It's the distilled wisdom of decades of research and practice, presented as a set of powerful concepts that can be used to guide your training and your racing more effectively than other measures of intensity.

This book explains and explores each concept using straightforward language and an easy-to-follow structure.

If you're looking for a practical, experience-based guide to Running with Power, this book can be that guide.
