Great stats!! Another great metric is resting heart rate. As this gets lower the fitness is usually moving in the right direction

Cheers Stef. That’s true - mine seems to be stuck on 48/49 for the last 6 months according to garmin connect

Solid threshold workout that. Trending in the right direction, sub-40 looks well on

Thanks very much. Hopefully so. Just need to not overdo the training and set myself an actual race. That was a “2 steps forward” week … “1 step back” comes next week 😂

meters per heart beat seems like a very cool measure directly linked to the percieved effort. sure there has to be more concrete science to this but intuitively it makes sense for the heart to grow stronger and the muscles to become more efficient with training. my anecdotal evidence shows me that i used to run 6:00min/km with 180bpm two years ago, whereas i can now cover that pace with less than 160bpm. nice video, subscribed!

Very much appreciated. Yes that’s right. Its a simple metric that works for most. Even “inaccurate wrist HR” data so long as it’s consistently “wrong”, then you can spot patters over time. Getting older means your HR is supposed to drop - so another factor. Thanks v much

Very good video, think threshold running is the best thing anyone can do to get increased aerobic adaptions as long as it done at correct intensity like you have here... for me best indicator for fitness is the pace i can run on flat ground whilst maintaining around 130 bpm, my zone 2... i find when this pace naturally goes up I'm ready to race and go up the gears!

Yeah I’m with you on the high returns of threshold running. I’m trying to pivot a little towards these speedier sessions for 10k but I will revert to this classic once I bag a sub 40. Those simple methods to measure fitness are great. Thanks for the comment 👌

Excellent. Never knew about that website that can crunch your Strava data. Old school metric was the check your resting heart rate daily. I also know of a group of runners who would calculate beats per mile. That would work whatever pace you were running at as a 6m/m would have a higher HR but take less time than an 8m/m.

That crplots.com is excellent. Beats per mile sounds like the inverse of crplots nett HR efficiency so guessing the lower the number, the better. Resting HR is an interesting one … if we go with Garmin resting HR whilst sleeping, mine seems to have hovered around low 50’s high 40’s for the last year 🤷♂️

Interesting insights. My Coros predicters and fitness trend has not moved for ages! Have you looked into using power at all?

Yeah that’s definitely another one to consider - I think I need a Stryd for power so need to save up first!
