Does this mean a new Personal Best (PB) at every event?
No.
Instead, power can identify race-day targets that you can maintain throughout the event to achieve the best result youโre capable of on the day.

The Stryd Race Calculator uses your workouts from the last 90 days, your Auto-CP (Threshold Power) and (optionally) information about the event course and the expected environmental conditions to produce a best-case target power and an estimate of your finish time.

Using your Threshold Power, Running Effectiveness (how well you convert effort into forward motion), a fatigue resistance measure specific to your race distance, and (optionally) the expected environmental conditions, SPC provides race power target scenarios, the equivalent percentage of your Threshold Power and estimates of your finish time.

Power-based targets are a little different than you may be used to.
Theyโre based on you, not on population averages โ ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ current fitness, ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ fatigue resistance, and ๐ฆ๐๐ข๐ ability to convert power to speed.
Theyโre a power (or effort) target, not a hopeful goal time โ to quote Steve Palladino โyour time is determined by the power you ๐๐๐ run, not by the power you โ๐๐๐ to run.โ
