Makeover Monday: A Day at the Races
Given there's also the #FitData17 challenge we thought we'd give everyone some data to play with.
I'm going to be making over my results from Strava.
What works well?
- Of course no run is good without a map.
- Including a breakdown of my pace for each mile
- Showing a timeline along the bottom and allowing me to customize the metrics
What could be improved?
- There are no markers on the map to show me where I started, ended nor any mile markers along the way.
- The table shows me my pace, but it doesn't add any value because I can't see all of the miles at the same time making spotting trends impossible.
- The line chart has three separate metrics showing, yet only one axis. It doesn't make sense to overlap three metrics.
What I wanted to learn?
- Is my 3:25 goal for Frankfurt achievable?
- Is there anything interesting in the heart rate data?
- I want to be able to compare the key metrics across the two races.
- Is hitting "the wall" avoidable?
I must admit that I need to dig into this data further in order to be able to answer these questions. However, time is running out on the day and I won't have time to look at it more tomorrow, so I'm starting with a viz that does some simple comparisons. It'll have to do for now and it certainly improves upon the original.
