 9 |  Subject: Using DataHi, I'm looking for some advice on the best way to use the data from previous training. I'm completely new to triathlon, but have been exercising for a long time. I have a Samsung watch that I'm able to get decent stats on my workouts, but I'm unclear how to effectively use the data collected. It's cool seeing the information collected, but I honestly have no idea how to use it to make changes to my next training session. What should I be looking for in the data to let me know what to work on? Any advice would be great, even if it's to use good old fashioned paper and pencil to track. Thanks! |

What zones are you working in, be it pace, power, or heart rate Step 4: Track performance metrics, ie run efficiency, strava segments, peak power ..... Take a look at the logging mechanisms here, Strava, Training Peaks. There are otherrs depending on your technical abilities, budget... |
