A brief list of things to check in order to prevent runner's knee pain
(based on a personal experience of a 10x marathoner, find the strava profile here). The list should not be considered complete, it only represents the personal perspective.
This one wasn't about performance. It was about jogging through a dense fog and trying to keep the fingers warm. Anyway, the job is done, the weekly mileage is topped up with another 14 kilometers. ..And the body received almost 85 minutes of something that can be called a workout.
Small, but still a gain!
Pretty a regular one, however, the data (.tcx taken from strava) are good, and some nice looking plots were produced as a result. The data presented in a human-friendly format really improve the understanding of how parameters in the running stats are linked together. This time it will be about distance, elevation grade, speed and heart rate. The idea is to use that for boosting running performance.
An easy 12km run, well known terrain, a short looped route - perfect conditions to compare elevation data coming from raw .tcx files. Given the previous experience with glitches, fluctuations and unexpected values of elevation in the stats, it's really interesting to know, which platforms offer more reliable data.
Practically, a night run. Pretty flat and steady in terms of pace, except of a mild downhill part around km 6, which was relatively fast.
What's interesting here is that the heart rate is aligned with the speed in the first half, however, it is well above the expected level in the second part of t...
