I've had similar experiences with GPS tracking. From what I've read, GPS signals can be affected by various factors like satellite geometry, atmospheric conditions, and physical obstacles like buildings or trees. It's not uncommon to see minor discrepancies, especially in urban areas or when running under heavy tree cover. I take my GPS data with a grain of salt and focus on my overall progress rather than exact distances. But hey, it's still better than running without any tracking at all! 🏃♀️
Nice story, but let's not get carried away. Going from parkrun to Olympic podium in a few years is unrealistic for most of us. Still, inspiring to see someone chasing their dreams.
Underwhelming article. Too much fluff, not enough substance on her actual training and progress.
HR data is not a magic bullet, folks.
Weekly mileage is important, but it's not just about getting the work done. Long runs are about building endurance and mental toughness. 2 might be enough for a casual finish, but if you want to perform decently, I'd say 3-4 long runs are necessary to see real progress. Anything less and you're just winging it.
