There may be some daily variation in the Running Indexes. Many factors
influence Running Index. The value you receive on a given day is affected by
changes in running circumstances, for example different surface, wind or
temperature, in addition to other factors.
LONG-TERM ANALYSIS
The single Running Index values form a trend that predicts your success in
running certain distances.
The following chart estimates the duration that a runner can achieve in
certain distances when performing maximally. Use your long-term Running
Index average in the interpretation of the chart. The prediction is best for
those Running Index values that have been received at speed and running
circumstances similar to the target performance.
