Get • Ever notice how a run can feel way harder halfway through, even though the pace hasn’t changed? 🤔
That’s because pace only tells you how fast you’re moving.
It doesn’t tell you how much each step is COSTING you once fatigue builds.
As form subtly breaks down, the body works harder to hold the same speed.
Heart rate drifts up. Legs feel heavy. Running stops feeling smooth 😅
This is why I like using running power. It shows the real cost of running in real time, not just the outcome on your watch.
Control effort first. Let pace take care of itself. 🚀
Save this if you’ve felt it before 💾
More on how I use this with runners soon 👀
Save this if you’ve felt it before.
