- Abstract
Running training plans have become a trend between professional and amateur runners to train for races. However, not all of them have a preliminary study to guarantee their effectivity. In this project, we analyse running sessions using the Principal Component Analysis method in order to find which are those parameters that a running training plan needs to focus on and how they are trained to help the runner to be faster. As an application, we analyse a particular training plan with the information obtained from the method and we find out how its indicator qualify every run, compared with the planned one.
