Very true, but in my opinion training this way will produice greater results, make the run easier (unless your pushing it for a personal best), and its easy to understand and only reuiqres a cheap hr monitor (unlike lactate and ventilatory threshold). Therefore why not, but i do see what your getting at mate, its a fair point
