www.run4prs.com Should you train based off HR or pace or effort

Drawback of HR- wrist HR monitor doesn’t work, Most people don’t know their appropriate zones, other things impact your HR like stress, time of the month, medication, weather, sleep, caffeine

Pace has drawbacks as well. Hills will make you slower. Heat will make you 

Going off of effort→ it is a learning curve. You have to be okay with bombing a workout and not knowing you stats. Don’t look at your watch. You have done these workouts before. You know the idea.
