I've set this as a minimum 180 minutes played during the World Cup

Hi - the "receptions under direct pressure" variable is reported directly by FIFA :)

I've made this as its the world cup at the moment -there are plenty of people who are watching the tournament!

Per 90 minutes - we normalise the stats to be reflective of a 90 minute period (per match), instead of raw numbers which just show absolute values

This is the fifa terminology. X axis is how many times a player received a ball while being put under direct pressure by an opponent. Y axis is the total number of times a player received the ball.

Have a look at the pinned posts / Q&A on r/runningshoegeeks

Interesting, does your stride just feel like its not working? Also have you got proper running shoes? I noticed they made a big difference for me.

Yeah when I started doing interval runs, I noticed that my pace during normal runs started to slowly improve too.

I honestly think with enough training anyone can do it. I'm no expert but I would start by walk/running short distances at a low heart rate. I wouldn't worry about cadence or anything that technically initially.

If you are comfortable with that then I would say that speed is built through interval/tempo runs

Thanks! Yeah I would love to hit 3:30 - big aim for next year! You are right, alot of time to sacrifice haha

Yeah thankfully it wasn't the worst and I was cleared after 3 weeks! Some people had it much worse

Haha thanks for the comment!

Yep so in this context speed and pace are inverse!

Yeah correct that was the event I trained for

Thanks - I should clarify I did two half marathons in early 2021 but due to life circumstances could only do 5km runs for the better part of the last year.

Planning to go again next year given I felt I missed my full potential on race day!

Appreciate the comment - I was glad to see that you can get it all from Strava!

Yeah I did two half-marathons in early 2021 but due to life had to drop my running to only 5km runs late last year.
I did try to track my HR, particularly with the one long run and one interval run during the program

Correct - luckily I could request my data via this method. However there are a few tutorials online if you need to use the API

Bit of both - my 5km route is basically flat whereas the longer runs extended my route into a more hilly area, hence the greater elevation

This is spot on. At the start of 2022 I ran slower but with lower cadence - my stride length was probably too long. I then worked very slowly to increase steps per minute at slower paces.

After doing some research on marathon running and talking to some friends who are advanced runners, I realised that my form was probably a little bit inefficient and my stride length was too long.

I found at a faster pace I could take more steps per minute but not as slower paces. That's why when i pull my pace back in early 2022 there is a big drop in cadence. I then worked (very slowly) for the rest of the year on taking more/shorter steps at slower paces.

Yeah these comments and bang on - I researched / talked to some running friends and was not going to be effective to continue running at 4:30-4:40 if I wanted to build endurance and form to run a marathon.

The variation in runs is also correct - that was part of the mara training program. I guess what I found interesting was that my interval/fast runs in late 2022 were at a lower HR than late 2021, meaning at a rudimentary level my fitness had improved.

Thanks for all these comments. Similar to some of the replies here I basically was running 5km distance exclusively between July 2021 and late 2021. These were also done at a pace that unfortunately I could not keep up for a marathon.

So made the conscious decision at the start of the year to try and slow down while also trying to focus on improving my cadence/efficiency. So maybe the "average pace" metric/line isn't the best, but included it as it helped me decipher what happened

Yeah there are a bunch of free platforms that you can hook Strava into. I am learning R and tend to do a lot of data viz so took this on as a experiment! Happy to provide the R code though, there's a few similar examples online too
