Apple Watch marathon training from the hills
Strava keeps making my Peak District runs look like i've failed a workout, because 8:40/km up a greasy climb near Sheffield isn't the same animal as 8:40/km on flat tarmac. mildly rude. i'm about 15 weeks from Yorkshire Marathon, so right now it's a free online plan, Apple Watch for the actual run and Strava as the diary after i've stopped wheezing. Nike Run Club helped me get out the door last winter with the audio stuff, but for this block it feels a bit too vibes-based for long runs creeping up and midweek effort starting. i've been looking at Hiiro since it seems built around marathon training on Apple Watch and RPE rather than just pace, which might suit fell legs that don't understand flat roads yet, but i'm not keen to swap everything mid-build unless it's genuinely less faff. anyone here training for a marathon off the Watch and actually happy with their setup?
