To celebrate the upcoming release of the Spanish version of ‘Getting Started’, I’m planning to update the cover of the English version too. This text (on the green background) will be on the back cover of the books (in the appropriate language) and in the book blurb on reseller websites.
This week, I’m posting about each of the ‘Power =’ items 🙂

Power enables your best race-day performance, based on your fitness, your capabilities and your race-day readiness.
It’s a complete, end-to-end system where all of the parts fit together ‘just right’.
Power measures how hard you’re working when you run, providing numbers that, second-by-second, measure your effort.
And once you can measure your effort, all sorts of things become possible.
With a few maximum effort runs (no lab testing needed), you can identify your Threshold Power, an important representation of your current running fitness.
Power uses your Threshold Power to set your training targets, so that you train to match your current fitness, and as your fitness improves, your workout targets adjust to match.
Power calculates a Stress Score for each completed workout, based on the workout’s duration and intensities, combining these scores to provide metrics you can use to maintain a productive training balance, to add load safely, and to target the right mix of training intensities.
Which means you can maximise your training results, minimise your risk of over-training and injury, and make consistent, uninterrupted progress toward your upcoming event.
Power uses your completed workouts and your individual metrics to calculate a target power range you should be able to maintain for the entire event.
The target represents the best you can achieve on the day, based on your fitness, your capabilities and your race-day readiness.

For many runners, Running with Power has resulted in new Personal Bests (PBs) … myself included.
