(19-10-2025) THe visualisations have reached their final form. I had two gels in the last long run, it does make a big difference. The training is working. It will be interesting to run at elevation next week. The new plots show the weekly mileage/time with hover to see individual runs, not as pretty as waterfall but more compact. The other tab shows physiological adaptation I hope. With lower HR for same pace runs as training Phases advance. I cannot figure out how to get perfect tick and axis labels.
(08-10-2025) Training is going well, I am running 3 to 4 times a week with no pain in either leg or foot. I am still cycling to work sometimes, I have even tried running to work, this is probably the most tryhard thing I have done in a long time. It is nice in the early morning it is not nice at rush-hour in the evening. I made some initial purchases for this new hobby, a small running backpack for the aforementioned runs to work even though the Osprey Nebula works surprisingly well it is too big. I got shorts with large mesh pockets to carry a flask and food, and a selection of different types of foods from Kendal Mint Company, surprisingly okay with their very minty cakes, have not tried the gels yet. I made an entire self contained app to visualise runs, heart rate stuff and sleep but I won’t integrate it here yet.
(27-09-2025) Added some waterfall plots to visualize weekly mileage and time spend running, also a not very useful average and sum by weekday.
(25/09/2025) I have signed up to the Lea Valley ultra-marathon. Ultra-marathon covers any distance over 42.195, meaning that most people that have run a marathon, have in fact run an ultra-marathon, well done guys. Call yourselves ultra-marathon finishers, its cooler. Anyway, The Lea Valley Ultra is a 50 km (31 miles) race from from Welwyn Garden City in Hertfordshire to Hackney Wick in East London.
I am not sure what this page will contain, probably visualisations, some descriptive statistics on my training. Maybe ideas about strength training, gear and nutrition (something I have never had to worry about, the longest I’ve ever run in one go is 22km). Right now I am thinking how to best organise the data for myself.
