Running with Power: The Basics
Description
Is power the next great running metric?
Power, which measures your effort - how hard you're running - is becoming more popular. All of the major running watch manufacturers include wrist-based power in their new models, and the number of runners using power in the World Marathon Majors has doubled every year since 2016.
Running with Power isn't just a trend, it can make a real difference to your training and racing:
⭐ Run your Personal Best based on your measured fitness, not just a hopeful finish time. ⭐ Maximise your training gains while minimising injury risk. ⭐ Improve your fatigue resistance to run harder for longer. ⭐ Measure the effectiveness of drills, plyometrics or strength work.
What's in the book?
Running with Power is based on decades of research and practice, packaged as a set of powerful models and metrics that can be used to guide your training and racing more effectively than Heart Rate or Pace.
Written by an England Athletics certified coach who's been using power since 2018, this book covers each aspect of Running with Power using straightforward language and an easy-to-follow structure.
If you want to use a science-backed, metrics-based, individualised approach to training and racing, Running with Power is for you...
...and if you're looking for a practical, experience-based guide for how to Run with Power, this book can be that guide.
