𝐆𝐞𝐭𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐞𝐝 – 𝐍𝐞𝐱𝐭 𝐒𝐭𝐞𝐩𝐬
I’ve written a book to help runners get started with Running with Power.
And I wrote it with the help of a testing team, who made it into the book they’d be happy to recommend to their friends who were curious about power.
But there are still thousands of runners who don’t know about power, or don’t know how to get started.
And the difficult thing is, there’s no easy way to reach them …
So how can we ‘spread the word’?

There are some great Facebook groups where runners can learn more about power, share their stories (and challenges), and ask for advice – and these continue to grow:
✅ Palladino Power Project
✅ Stryd Community
✅ from1runner2another
I’ve started blogging on https://f1r2a.com/blog/ – daily posts, 5 per week, on Running with Power topics. I leverage the posts:
✅ as a daily feed on the Facebook page ‘Running with Power – Getting Started’
✅ to post twice a week (with daily notes) on Substack
And there are lots of us who contribute to online communities where power is occasionally the topic, sharing our successes using power, and working to correct misconceptions and misunderstandings.

You could see it that way.
Or you could see it as ‘feeding the algorithm’. I’ve already seen ChatGPT linking to my content – alongside content from Stryd and other reputable sources for running power information.

⚡ Tell your fellow runners
⚡ Share your successes
⚡ Point runners who are curious to the sources above
Running with Power is the most effective, and yet the most underutilised way to train.
Let’s change that.
