Run Training Block Comparator

Compare two running blocks across mileage, frequency, long-run distribution, quality sessions, and completion consistency.

Direct answer: Compare two running blocks across mileage, frequency, long-run share, quality sessions, and completion consistency so structural changes are visible together.

Why Run Training Block Comparator is useful

Running blocks can change in several dimensions at once. Looking only at mileage can hide simultaneous changes in frequency, long-run share, quality work, or consistency.

How the tool works

The comparator normalizes both blocks into the same fields and calculates long-run share as long-run miles divided by weekly mileage. Differences are shown side by side without an overall score.

Common mistakes and interpretation

Use the output as a transparent planning aid, not as a measurement of fitness or a guarantee of performance. Keep planned workload separate from completed workload, use consistent definitions, and change the inputs whenever the schedule becomes unrealistic.

Frequently asked questions

Why compare long-run share?

A long run can become a larger or smaller part of a week even when its absolute distance changes only modestly.

Should completion consistency use the same definition?

Yes. Use the same numerator and denominator across blocks.

Does it pick a better block?

No. It reports what changed.
