## Resource

Pace, power, and heart rate are three popular metrics that shape how we train. But do you know when to pace your run with each one? Coach Elizabeth James joins Carrie to unpack how to monitor your effort effectively and get the most from your workouts. Together, they’ll explore the pros and cons of each metric, explain how RunDot utilizes each, and share tips for choosing the right wearable to track your performance. The duo will also discuss the value of running by good ole fashioned RPE (Rate of Perceived Exertion). Tune in to learn how training with the right metric can help manage fatigue, improve recovery, and make steady, consistent progress toward your goals.
