  • My heart rate spikes even at an easy pace — how should I handle it?
    Several factors can impact your heart rate: fatigue, stress, weather conditions, a busy week… in short, there are many. In such cases, it’s best to prioritize easy endurance runs to avoid overexerting yourself, and slightly reduce your target paces for more specific workouts.Few readers
  • How is the target time calculated?
    To estimate the potential time gains you could achieve, we base our calculations on the data you provided when signing up for the platform.

    With an up-to-date reference time, Campus' steady endurance pace should naturally take you slightly above your easy endurance zone in terms of muscular effort and heart rate. You can run based on heart rate — around 80% of your maximum heart rate — as long as you're using a reliable heart rate monitor, like a chest strap. Alternatively, you can run by pace, which should roughly correspond to the same intensity.Few readers

It shows that the workout and your paces were spot on, and you’re on the right track to make progress. Don’t change anything, the plan is well-suited to you! Option 2: You couldn’t maintain the session pace until the end From the very beginning, you feel the pace is hard to hold, and at some point, you completely crash andFew readers
