5k recovery on a rainy day schoonens.social
@camiel I know what you mean. I used to have problems with 7 min/km and slower too. I use Runalyze, and it mentions that the recommended easy pace according to Daniels is between 6:54 en 8:39 min/km. 10 meter walk breaks and breathing exclusively through the nose is what helped me to control my pace.
@renevanbelzen I'm on a 7-day trial of Athlytic now. It works from the locally stored data on my phone and watch. I don't use social networks like Strava or Runkeeper to track my running.
Athlytic is a similar product. Based on the data for the past six months, I've been exercising the right way, and I'm happy with that.
@camiel Alas, Athlytic seems Apple Watch centric. I don't own (nor desire) an Apple Watch, nor use my iPhone to record my runs. I use both Garmin and Strava to keep track of my runs and motivate myself by how seeing well others train and get good results in races.
Since I'm a competitive runner, I need a coach to keep me on track, limit my ambitions on the short term. Alas, I'm still without one, since my T&F club isn't willing to appoint one for marathon training specifically. So I'm looking for a coach, and in the meanwhile make do with books and websites, and hope for the best.
