Sorry, fitness watch - this handy trick has finally helped me enjoy cardio without tracking

RPE training: Chloe on a run.

One of the best things about running is seeing your hard work displayed on your fitness watch straight after, right? At least, that's what I used to think before I found RPE training. 

Never heard of it? Unlike with lifting weights, where you might just track your heart rate and calories burned (neither of which necessarily indicate a good workout, FYI), there's so much information you can break down about your run when using wearables. You can see your distance, pace and splits (aka, how fast you ran each kilometre - and whether you got slower or faster throughout the run) as well as your physical stats like heart rate zones.
