Racing your personal best

𝐑𝐚𝐜𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥 𝐛𝐞𝐬𝐭

A truth: power isn’t a guarantee that you’ll run a Personal Best (PB) at every race.

So what does ‘racing your personal best’ mean?

𝐏𝐨𝐰𝐞𝐫 𝐢𝐬 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧𝐚𝐥

It’s a system of metrics based on you as you are right now – your ability, your current fitness, your current form.

Your power metrics are calculated from your completed workouts (for better or worse).

From what you’re able to do.

Right Now.

👉🏼 Power is Personal.

If it’s personal to you, how does that translate into racing your best?

Power enables identification of your current running fitness – your Threshold Power.

👉🏼 Which means you’re starting from a known position.

It bases your training targets on your Threshold Power, with incremental progressions (in volume or intensity) to improve your fitness while minimising injury risk.

👉🏼 Which means you can focus on consistently completing planned workouts.

It provides metrics to monitor your changing fitness and your training load, based on your Threshold Power and your completed workouts.

👉🏼 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).

👉🏼 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

👉🏼 Which means you’re running based on you – your race-day fitness, ability, and form.

Power provides a complete system that prepares you to race your best – the rest, as they say, is up to you.
