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.

When I looked into this before (a few years ago), the available options seemed to be unable to differentiate between different running surfaces and treated smooth tarmac and quagmire just the same.

I wonder if/how the newer versions address this?
