Running power is still relatively new.
It’s not running with a powerful stride or looking powerful when you run.
Instead, power is just another name for ‘effort’ – at least, that’s the simplest way I’ve found to describe it.
⚡ Second-by-second as you run, power provides numbers representing your effort.
Run harder, and the numbers increase; run easier, and they decrease.
… whether you’re running on the flat, over hills, or on a windy day, power shows how hard you’re working.

Because there’s magic in the numbers.
Once you can measure your effort, all sorts of things become possible – you can:
✅ assess your running fitness (and re-assess it) at any point in your training plan.
✅ ensure your training stays productive by setting workout targets based on your current fitness, rather than on a hopeful goal time.
✅ reduce your risk of injury using completed workouts to track your training load.
✅ personalise your race-day targets to achieve the best result you’re capable of on the day.
