Few know that in the race you can also train with watts in a simple way

Our collaborator Rebook Performance, tells us in this article how we can train with watts in the running race.

Any cyclist that has trained with watts has benefits quickly to be able to work accurately at all times, quantifying work and performance.

Few know that in the race you can also train with watts in a simple way, for a few years there are some brands that sell potentiometers for the race and much cheaper than cycling.

Do you train the same with watts in cycling and running?

The answer is basically yes, with the following advantages:

Control the intensity of work in any distance and unevenness.

Result impossible to maintain a constant intensity in a sinuous terrain, but now you can control perfectly giving equal slope and distance. The usual thing is to spend on the ups and fall short on the downs, but with this system we can perfectly control the rhythm on any slope obtaining the maximum benefit of each training.

It allows to control and improve the career technique.

Good runners use less watts to run at the same speed. If the time passes and maintaining the speed the watts increase means that our technique has worsened (possibly our position is worse).

A good work of technique and specific force will allow to decrease the watts at the same speed showing us obvious improvements in this aspect

Calculate with great precision the pace that we must take in any competition to achieve the best performance.

The secret to good competition is to keep up. More and more runners use this system training with watts so as not to overdo the rhythm and meet the famous "wall" (The Wall).

You just have to know our limits with past training and competitions and know that they can not be exceeded
