A truth: power isnโt a guarantee that youโll run a Personal Best (PB) at every race.
So what does ‘racing your personal best’ mean?

Itโs a system of metrics based on you as you are right now โ your ability, your current fitness, your current form.
Your power metrics are calculated from your completed workouts (for better or worse).
From what youโre able to do.
Right Now.
๐๐ผ Power is Personal.

If itโs personal to you, how does that translate into racing your best?
Power enables identification of your current running fitness โ your Threshold Power.
๐๐ผ Which means youโre starting from a known position.
๐๐ผ Which means you can focus on consistently completing planned workouts.
๐๐ผ Which means you can adjust your plan if needed (rather than blindly following it).
It uses your training load metrics to plan your taper (more on that in a future post).
๐๐ผ Which means you minimise missed training and arrive at the start line with fresh legs, ready to run.
It bases your race day power target on your most recent metrics
๐๐ผ Which means youโre running based on you โ your race-day fitness, ability, and form.
Power provides a complete system that prepares you to race your best โ the rest, as they say, is up to you.
