We start this new year with new resolutions and targets. But it is also good to review what we have achieved and done the year before.
We have just sent to all our athletes the “year in review” newsletter. That’s a good overview on how you spent your time. The summary contains the distance you have run, the total elevation gain, the average speed, calories, max heart rate and max bike power (if you use bike power sensors there are also your best Critical Power data points). It completes the report the heat maps that show where you concentrated your activities during the year.
You can only improve what you measure!
And remember what we wrote last year. In terms of supporting goals you establish or new year’s resolutions we suggest to focus on metrics that reflect process as opposed to outcome. Track the things that are reasonably under your control like weekly hours of training, weekly time in various training levels, number of sessions of a certain type that match your training plan, weekly kj, etc.
Happy new year from SelfLoops!
