There’s magic in the numbers

⚡ Second-by-second as you run, power provides numbers representing your effort.

Why’s that important?

Once you can measure your effort, you can answer all sorts of questions.

Here’s a sample …

Your Threshold Power is a key measure of your current running fitness.

It’s used to set training targets, to monitor training load, and to set race/event goals.

… 𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐫𝐞𝐜𝐭?

Your training targets are based on your Threshold Power (your running fitness) – what you can achieve right now.

They ensure your targets are ‘just right’ for you, and they self-adjust when your Threshold Power changes.

… 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐰𝐚𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐨𝐮𝐭?

Training Load Scores combine ‘how hard?’ and ‘how long?’ for each completed workout.

They represent the workout’s metabolic stress – its impact on your body.

… 𝐚𝐦 𝐈 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐦𝐮𝐜𝐡? 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞?

Your Training Load Balance, calculated from your Training Load Scores, shows whether your training is ‘productive’ – not too much, not too little.

… 𝐚𝐦 𝐈 𝐫𝐚𝐦𝐩𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐮𝐩 𝐭𝐨𝐨 𝐪𝐮𝐢𝐜𝐤𝐥𝐲?

Your Ramp Rate, calculated from your Training Load Scores, shows if you’re adding training load too quickly, replacing ‘the 10% rule’ with a metric based on ‘how hard?’ and ‘how long?’

… 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐡𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐮𝐥𝐝 𝐈 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐨𝐧 𝐫𝐚𝐜𝐞 𝐝𝐚𝐲?

Race-power planning identifies an effort level you can sustain from start to finish, one that will give you the best result you’re capable of.

… 𝐡𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐈 𝐫𝐮𝐧 𝐟𝐚𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐫?

By working on your form (how you run), you can improve your Running Effectiveness – how effectively you convert effort into speed.

Running Effectiveness provides an objective way to assess whether form changes are improvements.

All of these metrics are available when Running with Power.
