To the old school method, I’d add that after checking your splits every 200 metres, you will eventually know how a 44-second 200 feels and how it’s different from running a few seconds either way. I think nothing can replace a strong connection with your body.

Heart rate + some kind of distance+pace measuring are the nirvana of people like me who have no sense of what effort should be on easy versus hard runs.

Nicely said, Jeff.
