There are two reasons:
โšก The numbers match how hard youโ€™re working โ€ฆ they just โ€˜feel rightโ€™
๐ŸŽฏ Targets (for training and racing) are based on you โ€ฆ power is personal

Let me unpack those.

Power provides numbers representing how hard youโ€™re working while running โ€“ your effort.

Running by effort isnโ€™t new โ€“ runners have used โ€˜Perceived Exertionโ€™ for many years. What is new is being able to put numbers to your effort.

Are the numbers actionable?

YES, based on using power since 2018 โ€ฆ and on multiple independent studies.

Once you can measure your effort, all sorts of things become possible โ€“ you can:
โœ… assess your running fitness at any point in your training
โœ… ensure your training stays productive by setting workout targets based on your current fitness, rather than on a hopeful goal time
โœ… reduce your risk of injury using completed workouts to track your training load
โœ… personalise your race-day targets to achieve the best result youโ€™re capable of on the day

All of these are calculated using your completed workouts. Power really is Personal.

Using my runnersโ€™ completed workouts, I can build a detailed profile of each runner based on what they can achieve (right now). And I can use that profile to set targets that are individual to each runnerโ€™s capability (right now), to get the most from their training while minimising injury risk.

I can do all of this virtually, to coach runners in the UK, the US, or any other place worldwide.

Power (and the system behind it) provides a science-backed, metrics-based, individualised approach to training and racing โ€“ for runners and for coaches.
