260: Expert Edition: Dr Will O’Connor, Sports Scientist, ‘Running with Power’

Dr Will O'Connor is known as the running science guy. Dr Will utilises his PhD in Sports Science and experience as an elite ultra-athlete to help athletes and everyday people realise their potential.

You'll hear today why Dr Will believes that for runners to realise their potential running with power is a key tool that they must implement. It is now on my to do list and during today's conversation we'll hear Dr Will share around what running with power is all about, why it's useful, how it differs to the power generated with cycling, why Dr Will believes it is a better metric for running than pace, heart rate, or even perception of effort and practically how to get started in running with power. Dr Will outlines his preferred technology and data platforms to make sense of running with power and then apply it to our training and racing efforts.
