  • 🎯Runner Type Confirmed — four types, identified from your own data
  • ⚠️Grey Zone Diagnosis — see exactly how much of your training is wasted effort
  • 🏅Race Potential — realistic targets at 5K, 10K, half marathon and marathon
  • Three Actions — in priority order, based on your numbers. Not generic advice.

Zone 5

Zone 3 (135–155 bpm): too hard to recover from, too easy to build real fitness. This is why most runners plateau — and why the report focuses on it first.

Years running9 years

GJR Solutions started from a simple frustration: there's no shortage of running advice online, but almost none of it is based on your actual data. Generic plans, vague targets, motivational content that tells you to "believe in yourself" — none of it helps a real runner who just wants to know what to do next.

The running products here are built on nine years of my own Strava data, 17,532 km of running, and the coaching principles of John Starrett and Steve Magness — two coaches who cut through the noise and focus on what actually works. The grey zone diagnosis came directly from analysing my own training and finding the same pattern that shows up in almost every recreational runner's data.

Beyond running, GJR Solutions offers digital guides, bespoke research reports, and SEO services — all written in plain English, with no jargon and no padding. The goal is always the same: give you something you can actually use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a Strava running analysis?

A Strava running analysis looks at your complete running history — heart rate zones, pace trends, distance, frequency — and turns that raw data into a clear picture of how you actually train. Most runners have years of data in Strava but no idea what it means. The Runner Profile Report from GJR Solutions does that work for you and delivers the findings in plain English.

What is grey zone training?

Grey zone training — sometimes called junk miles — is running at a moderate effort that is too hard to build your aerobic base and too easy to deliver a real training benefit. Most recreational runners spend the majority of their time here without realising it. Based on the polarised training principles of Steve Magness, eliminating grey zone running is the single biggest change most runners can make to improve their performance.

Why am I not improving despite running regularly?

The most common reason is grey zone dominance — running at a moderate effort that produces neither recovery nor adaptation. Your Strava data holds the answer. A heart rate zone breakdown across your history will show exactly where your training time is going and why progress has stalled.

What digital guides does GJR Solutions offer?

GJR Solutions offers beginner-friendly guides on self-publishing via Amazon KDP, creating Kindle ebooks, and other practical digital topics — all written in plain English with no jargon. Each guide is built from real experience and designed to give you a clear next step rather than overwhelming you with options.

What is a bespoke research report?

You give us a question or topic — business, market research, SEO, historical — and we research it thoroughly and write it up in clear English. Delivered as a PDF and Word document within 5 working days. Standard reports up to 1,500 words are £99. In-depth reports are £149. The Slideaglide SEO audit is an example of the depth and quality we deliver.

Where is GJR Solutions based?
