Power can help you perform your personal best on the day.
How? By:
โก identifying a single target you can maintain throughout the event
โก helping you ๐๐๐ก go out too fast
โก reducing anxiety associated with trying to achieve a goal time

Before the event, power race calculators use your current fitness, your fatigue resistance (or stamina) and how effectively you convert effort into forward motion to identify a race power target.
Some calculators also allow you to create scenarios, by varying your fatigue resistance or running effectiveness to show best case/worst case targets.
These calculations are based on you โ your fitness, your capabilities.
Which means power targets are personal โ they identify an effort level you can maintain throughout the event.
It also means that you can’t run with pacers, as theyโll be running to a pace target.

Your race power target also helps prevent you starting the event too fast โ at too high an effort.
Which means you should have enough energy left to finish the event strong.

Thereโs nothing worse than running to a (hopeful) goal time, translating that into pace targets, then finding that youโre falling behind the pace.
And thereโs nothing better than running to a power target that represents the effort you can maintain throughout the event โฆ to achieve your personal best on the day.
