If you’re a moderately competitive cyclist, you HAVE to have a power meter. Power meters give you a more accurate representation of your work (energy) when you’re running. 

Think about running uphill. 

Can you look at your pace? Nope, it’ll be slow. 

Can you look at your heart rate, maybe, but if the hills <5min, you probably won’t get a representative reading until you’re at the top. 

Using a running power meter, you can accurately measure your effort from the bottom to the top of the hill.

When you’re in a race like a marathon that requires a precise distribution of effort, a running power meter can maximise your chance of success. 

Do you NEED a power meter? No. 

Runners have been successfully executing races for decades. Even before GPS and Strava 😱. 

Running meters add an extremely useful tool to the runners’ toolbox. When you see Olympic Champions like Eluid Kipchoge and Kristian Blummenfelt with running power meters clipped to their shoes, you know the future is here. 

If you have a coros, polar, or Garmin HR strap, it’s likely you already have access to running power. You just haven’t unlocked its powers yet.
