power meter data

Is this really beneficial in the same way as it can be for cycling? Will it herald the dawn of aero runskinsuits and 'run fitting' clinics to dial in position for maximum gains?

probably not. but from what I've read it's a better metric to train with than heart rate as it has less external factors which can impact it.

I just like seeing numbers go up or down to tell me if i'm getting better or not.

this outlines the potential benefits quite well... https://www.trainingpeaks.com/blog/running-with-power-how-it-works-and-what-it-means/

Hmm, aero stuff will follow because Pa

the power P of our human engine should be equal to the sum of the power required to overcome the running resistance Pr the air-resistance Pa and the climbing resistance Pc as shown

Wondering how Pr & Pc are derived. More reading required.
