Hans van Dijk and Ron van Megen have been fans of running power meters for years. They are internationally known for their books on the subject. Koen de Jong thought that running on power and the books by Hans and Ron were just complicated stuff and didn't want to know anything about it. Now Koen has changed his mind too. Power meters are revolutionizing running and have tremendous potential for understanding and improving performance. More and more runners are opting for racing and training with wattage instead of heart rate or pace. In this book Hans, Ron and Koen explain clearly the advantages of running on power. And most importantly, it is very simple and brings peace of mind to your training. The Power to Run is in three parts: what's in it for you, backgrounds and practical tips and cases.
