Nice to see some sub 8min/mile appearing regularly again.<br /><br />I wonder how much the results from HR and GPS based pace info on our runs affects how we think about them? If we didn't have these would we think quite differently about how are runs are going?<br /><br />Personally I find the HR/pace data a useful check to add to my own perception. It can be a bit dis-hartening at times though. My figures looked great by the end of December with steady improvement through the whole month, then on the 31st I came down with flu and lost 8 days of training, and have had to slow re-introduce proper training and my figures still aren't as good as they were 6 weeks ago. I'm guessing this might be a sign that I'm still not 100% recovered...Robert Osfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16960356368117573952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13273897.post-80445405331878395122017-01-23T08:35:02.193+00:002017-01-23T08:35:02.193+00:00I'm not going sub-8 deliberately.
