Insightful, but a little outdated and slightly biased towards Training Peaks.

As with a lot of this kind of thing there’s absolutely nothing here for the casual reader. In fact this is niche even by the standards of a very niche kind of book.
This is really the first engagement with using power to structure running training. It’s a well practiced area in cycling but the technology is only in its infancy for running.
Vance works through a number of the issues very clearly - it’s a complex area but he patiently explains the terms, uses and more importantly weaknesses of different approaches.
If running with power ultimately becomes mainstream the current technology (and this book) will be looked at in the same was as we currently view first generation iPods. That said, it’s more or less the only game in town for an interesting and novel area in running technology.
