Analysing runs

Mushy Peas

Having just re-started running again after around 4 years cycling, I wondered what sites are most common / popular / useful to analyse runs with nice graphics and all the data? As a cyclist I've been using strava for some time and quite like that and I also have looked at Garmin connect. But are there better sites for running in terms of better analysis?

I don't mean to track the run (I use a Garmin forerunner 25 for that and so can upload to pretty much any site via Garmin connect). Just to play aroun with pretty graphs

I do realise that looking at all this analysis for osmeone at my level is not really going to make me a better runner. But I quite enjoy it being a bit of a data nerd!

Thanks

Amongst other sites I use Smashrun, which I like because it gives a nice overview of runs by month/year etc as well as detail on each run. It also identifies notable things about each run, e.g. if it is particularly fast/ early or late compared to other runs, longest for a while etc.

I find it complements the more straight forward record on Garmin Connect etc.

I also use smash run and love it. it is free but you get the best stuff if you subscribe, lots of stats and graphs for a real stat junkie like me but the best bit is that Garmin Connect automatically syncs to it.

Thanks both.  Will have a look

A more advanced watch and HRM will give you a lot more data to analyse than the FR25. With that you are just going to get pace and distance.

I have a HRM which works with forerunner 25. But I analyse on website post run. What additional data captured by different watch?

Ok. I bought a Garmin forerunner 935 and now have a forerunner 25 and a Garmin swim for sale. Off to eBay!
