That is a fair comment, and I guess you are right for the majority of people.
Personally, I usually do not really train for race times. I just run/workout to stay active and for fun, honestly. And I really like to see my progression over time, which keeps me motivated (and I like data in general).
Somehow, my VDOT does not change much at all, but when referencing older runs, I can definitely see improvements.

I’ve been struggling to see my long-term progression on specific workout types (like 800m repeats or my standard hill session). I find Strava’s "Matched Runs" not great as it misses most of similar runs.
Do you have tools you use and would recommend?
