1. Instant Feedback and Consistent Intensity
Power data responds instantly to changes in exertion, regardless of external factors such as hills, wind or temperature. While heart rate is delayed and pace is affected by terrain or weather conditions, power gives an objective picture of how hard you’re working. This helps you maintain consistent effort even in challenging conditions.

2. Train Smarter
Power allows you to train precisely within specific zones, which helps prevent overtraining and optimizes recovery. Whether you're doing an easy endurance run or an intense interval training session, power ensures you're putting out just the right amount of effort to reach your goals.

3. More Effective Match Strategy
Running on power helps you plan your race strategy. By distributing your effort consistently throughout a race, you avoid starting too fast or crashing at the end. This is especially useful for long distances like marathons or triathlons.

4. Advanced Performance Insights
Power meters like the Stryd provide in-depth analysis of factors like cadence, ground contact time, and power output. This data helps you identify inefficiencies and fine-tune your technique for better performance and lower risk of injury.

5. Ideal for Indoor and Outdoor Use
Since power is independent of GPS, you can use it for both treadmill workouts and outdoor runs. This makes it a versatile tool for runners who train in different environments.
