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.
