Seven trends from your own runs

Your profile draws seven trends from the runs you already have: pace, heart rate, VO2 max, strength, elevation, cadence and stride. Each one is a line and a ribbon over a year, two years or all of your history, or over the build to any race you ran. It is free, and it judges nothing.

What are the seven trends?

Pace, heart rate, VO2 max, strength, elevation, cadence and stride. Each one is read from your own runs, and each one stands down until three runs measured it.

What do the line and the ribbon mean?

The line is the middle of your runs across a six-week window: the mean of the middle half, so one hard day does not move it. The ribbon is that middle half itself, where half your runs sit.

What do Now and A year ago mean?

Now is the line's centre today. A year ago is the same centre a year back, so the two figures compare like with like. When your last measured run is older than the window, the head reads the line's last step and says its day.

Can you read a trend over a race build?

Yes. Pick a distance, then a race you ran, and the plot frames the block before it: sixteen weeks for a marathon, twelve for a half, eight for a 10K and six for a 5K, ending on race day. The head then reads race week against week one.

Where does VO2 max come from?

From your watch. ourpr shows the estimate your watch stored on the run and computes none of its own. It arrives with a Garmin export, so a history from Strava alone draws no VO2 max trend.

Why does strength count weeks?

A gym session has no pace to trend, so the subject counts the minutes you lifted in each week. A week you lifted none counts as zero, because that is the signal when you stop.

Does ourpr score a run or judge a trend?

No. It draws what your runs measured and states no verdict. Nothing is scored, and no figure is guessed.

Does it cost anything?

No. Your own trends are never behind a paywall.

A trend starts with your runs. Bring them in, or draw a route over the ground they cover.
