Notable Quotables From My Convo with @run.nrg about running power

💥You are the most efficient person in the world at doing sports the way you do it. If I tried to copy you, I would be less efficient as you.
💥Power can be used in the lab to test to see how our output changes with different cadences and shoes.
💥Power is a quicker feedback mechanism than heart rate
💥Power is force over time. Every time you generate force with a push off of your foot and is a unit of energy that is measured in watts.
💥The technology is there. It hasn't been mass produced. I think it maybe comes down the fact that runners are basically tight, they don't like spending money. Except on Vaporflys.
💥If I run there could be a 3 minute lag. With power, if I put the pace, the power goes up instantly. Power is a much quicker feedback than heart rate.
💥It’s using 3d accelerometer with an algorithm to estimate how much power you are putting out.
💥Power is still an algorithm, estimating the power going up the hill and mud. Not a real figure.
Power is hard to see on your watch as your arms are moving. There are still lots of things to overcome before it becomes a popular tool in the running world.

I always start speed blocks with one mile time trials

Then a few days later I’ll do a 3k TT and usually 2 weeks after a 5k to.

This helps me set my interval session paces and baseline.

This is my last year of focusing on the 5k and going 15:59.

Felt strong. New course. Need to add another 200m to the start to end correctly.
Was humid and warm but oh well
Def had nothing on the last 300m but yeah done and dusted
Onto proper Vo2max work for the next 4-6 weeks
Shoes by @sauconyau - Endorphin speed 2

Easy commute to the pool with the little dude is always a nice recovery

Welcome to a new series called “this or that”

Welcome to a new series called “this or that” where we talk, argue, debate about something that usually has no right or wrong answer.

The format is simple;

@remy_b_reel presents his side, I present my side, then we bring into the convo someone that has the best comment/answer into the convo to talk
About their side.

This episode we give our opinions about whether an endurance athlete should eat a plant based diet.

What’s your take?

So are you gonna get with this or you gonna get with that?

Watch to find out!

Ps- @kuhn_jon joins us to give some very “intimate” insights on his take.
