What is Apple Running Power?

A: It’s easiest to think of Running Power as being similar to effort rather than similar to speed. Thus it’s a great way to pace yourself consistently over varying terrain. Running Power takes into account, to varying degrees; slope, air density, surface conditions, wind and weight.
