I’m glad you asked…
Running power provides numbers that represent your effort.
To use those numbers, you’ll need to make some choices.
𝐄𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐩𝐦𝐞𝐧𝐭
Power numbers come from a power meter. If you have an Apple Watch or a recent running watch, your watch may include a power meter. If not, the Stryd footpod is compatible with a wide number of older (and more recent) watches.
𝐀𝐩𝐩𝐬
Apps handle power numbers to:
🔹 Plan your runs – to build workouts with power targets
🔹 Execute your runs – to display your running power vs. your targets
🔹 Review your runs – to review individual runs vs. targets, and to calculate multi-run metrics (like your training load)
𝐂𝐨𝐧𝐜𝐞𝐩𝐭𝐬
You’ll need to learn about power concepts like: Threshold Power; Training Stress; Stress Balance; Running Effectiveness.
