โ Initially, I wanted accurate pace and distance
I did not get a power meter to run with power (initially). Mainly, I was frustrated by terrible GPS distance and pace tracking in NYC where I live and run. I knew from past experiences that a foot pod with an accelerometer would be able to get far more precise data about my pace and distance and in my world data is good – hey, Iโm an engineer, more data is always better! ๐
โ Then I discovered Power=Effort!
It wasnโt till I started reading about training with power on Stryd website that I realized that in addition to pace and distance the pod can measure actual effort which seemed amazing to me and once I realized I could run with steady effort just by sticking to a number, there was no going back. Before long, I signed up for a power-based training program and finished a half-marathon worrying only about power and had the same amazing experience with both training, and racing.
โ I know exactly how hard Iโm working when running
Iโve been using different power-based programs since and I canโt imagine doing it any other way – I know exactly how hard Iโve been working, and when I can push harder, no matter where Iโm running, and as a bonus, the pace and distance measurements are always spot-on.
โ Every runner should have a โcoach in a podโ!
Power makes it so much easier to know youโre expending appropriate effort. And donโt be misled by the name – power isnโt just for younger or faster runners, in fact it helps weaker/slower/newer runners even more than experienced fast runners. Itโs like having a coach in a pod!
