METHODOLOGY

Measure what the run can support.

Understand the effort, consistency and progress behind your running. Runome brings detailed measurements together with clear explanations and context.

to a run.

Availability depends on the original sensor evidence. A metric is shown only when its required inputs pass the relevant checks.

Know what a metric describes, where to find its supporting measurements and how to read it alongside your training.

RECOVERY

Training load in time

Recent run timing, frequency and heart-rate-derived TRIMP feed chronic load, acute load and training-stress balance. It cannot see soreness, illness, pain or today’s sleep.

RUN QUALITY

Comparable evidence first

Explore how efficiently and consistently a run unfolded, with the supporting pace, heart-rate and movement data close at hand.

VO₂MAX

A running estimate

Follow an estimate of aerobic fitness alongside your running history. An app estimate is different from a laboratory measurement.

CLASSIFICATION

Easy, tempo or interval

Keep easy runs, tempo efforts and interval sessions organized by their purpose. Review the suggested classification and change it when needed.

RACE READINESS

Evidence, not a guarantee

Recent volume, long-run distance, frequency, consistency and recency are considered. Target-time readiness also compares the goal with current performance evidence.

TRAINING PATH

Adapt the future

Follow a plan that adapts to completed training. Keep upcoming sessions aligned with your goal and available running days.

Trend availability depends on enough comparable runs with the required evidence. Views can be grouped by run, rolling trend, week or month.

InterpretationMeasured, derived and estimated values are distinguished. Missing streams, optical heart-rate errors, GPS drift, pauses, profile settings and varied terrain can affect results. Comparable trends are usually more useful than one isolated value.

Questions behind your running numbers

Start with the question you want your data to answer.

RUNNING QUESTIONS

Why is my heart rate higher at the same running pace?

The same pace does not always mean the same effort. A higher reading can reflect conditions, recent training or the recording itself; one run cannot tell you which.

RUNNING QUESTIONS

Why is my VO₂max dropping when I am running faster?

Your finish time is an observation. A watch or app VO₂max value is an estimate. When they move in different directions, review the evidence behind each before changing your training.

METRIC DEFINITIONS

Heart-rate drift versus aerobic decoupling

Heart rate can rise while speed stays steady, or speed can fall while heart rate stays steady. Drift and decoupling describe different parts of that relationship.

SENSOR CONTEXT

Cadence lock and heart-rate spikes: how to check your running data

A surprising heart-rate trace can affect several downstream metrics. First check the recording; avoid assigning a physiological explanation from its shape alone.
