What is power, do you ask? Well, this episode with Nathan Fenton of RunPowerCoach will teach you all about what "power" is, how you measure it, why it's useful, and then of course the conversation just gets nice and nerdy about training like all conversations between running coaches tend to do!! I learned some VERY cool stuff from Nathan in this conversation, so I know you'll learn some very cool things too!⁠ ⁠ What is power and how is it different from pace or heart rate?⁠ How do you measure power?⁠ Using power to set your goals and find your goal pace efforts (& modeling outcomes)⁠ Converting training plans to use power⁠ Using power on easy run days⁠ How to quantify training load with power⁠ Can you use "Power" on a treadmill or using the watts output on a peloton tread?⁠ - Nathan is a lifelong endurance athlete and fascinated by the many different coaching methodologies. As an athlete, he has completed Ironman Triathlons in Australia, Europe and the UK, competed in running races from 5km to 100km and is a big proponent of heavy strength work for endurance athletes. As a coach he has taught running technique since 2014, written online training programs since 2016 and is always tinkering with principles from other sports to see how they can apply to endurance sport.
