Very effective in this case is the ability to see the track speed in real time compared to the value of the heartbeat. GPS readings from these two best runners advanced to enable a better understanding of the thresholds of their training.
Despite the cost of these GPS devices for racing has fallen in recent years, the tools are quite expensive and although they are very useful to advanced runners, beginners are often sufficient for a good stopwatch and measured paths
