Setup and Data Collection
Access training data using TrainingPeaks or your device account. Ensure you're familiar with the interface (see the TP tutorial if needed: • TrainingPeaks Walkthrough for Runners: Bui... ).
Identify Key Workouts:
Focus on "marathon-specific" workouts such as a long run with 10K, 15K, or other tempo efforts that simulate marathon conditions. These are critical for assessing endurance and pace sustainability.
Data Analysis
Review Workout Details:
For each key workout, examine the following data points:
Heart Rate: Check average heart rate and how it aligns with targeted zones.
Power Output: Analyze consistency within the desired power zones.
Pace: Observe the running pace and compare it against expected pace for race goals.
Consistency Check:
Assess the consistency of performance across multiple workouts. Ensure the runner maintains a stable heart rate and power output close to target zones without significant deviations.
Advanced Metrics Review:
Look at splits (e.g., first 10K split in a longer workout) to evaluate pace sustainability.
Analyze peak and average heart rates to gauge effort levels and potential overexertion.
