Is power the next great running metric? Power, which measures your effort - how hard you're running - is becoming more popular. All of the major running watch manufacturers include wrist-based power in their new models, and the number of runners using power in the World Marathon Majors has doubled every year since 2016. Running with Power isn't just a trend, it can make a real difference to your training and racing: ⭐ Run your Personal Best based on your measured fitness, not just a hopeful finish time. ⭐ Maximise your training gains while minimising injury risk. ⭐ Improve your fatigue resistance to run harder for longer. ⭐ Measure the effectiveness of drills, plyometrics or strength work. What's in the book? Running with Power is based on decades of research and practice, packaged as a set of powerful models and metrics that can be used to guide your training and racing more effectively than Heart Rate or Pace. Written by an England Athletics certified coach who's been using power since 2018, this book covers each aspect of Running with Power using straightforward language and an easy-to-follow structure. If you want to use a science-backed, metrics-based, individualised approach to training and racing, Running with Power is for you.

From the magisterial to the mundane, achievements play a role in the best kind of human life, and many people think that they are of such importance that they are worth pursuing at the expense of serious sacrifices. Yet for all that, no philosophers have devoted more than a few short passages to discerning what makes achievements valuable, or even what makes something an achievement to begin with. Gwen Bradford presents the first systematic account of what achievements are, and what it is about them that makes them worth doing. It turns out that more things count as achievements than we might have thought, and that what makes them valuable isn't something we usually think of as good. It turns out that difficulty, perhaps surprisingly, plays a central part in characterizing achievements and their value: achievements are worth the effort. But just what does it mean for something to be difficult, and why is it valuable? A thorough analysis of the nature of difficulty is given, and ultimately, the best account of the value of achievements taps into perfectionist axiology. But not just any perfectionist theory of value will do, and in this book we see a new perfectionist theory developed that succeeds in capturing the value of achievement better than its predecessors.

Delegation is an ubiquitous social phenomenon linked to the growing differentiation of modern societies. Delegation is one of several different modes of organisation that exist to make collective action successful, but has been overlooked and under-researched. Using a rational choice institutional analysis and principal agent models, this book brings literature on delegation to bureaucracy, electorate to legislature to government within representative democracy together with literature on new forms of delegation such as non-majoritarian institutions, to provide a more complete and synthetic analysis of delegation in political systems. With a broad and comparative approach, this is an important volume for advanced students, researchers and professionals concerned with delegation in the areas of public policy, public administration and democratic theory.
