I'd say that it helps you see an overall trend. So whereas beats per mile varies from one run to the next, the rolling graph smooths out the kinks.

Downward trending is best and indicates improved fitness (your heart has to beat fewer times to power you through a mile). Note that it's heavily influenced by other factors like heat (always worse in the summer), the hilliness of your routes, fatigue, illness, stress. I have my graphs set to display beats per mile (rolling) across the entire year. Mine usually forms a kind of inverted U shape when I start a new training block. Starts low-ish, rises as I become fatigued by the training, then improves ideally to lower than it was when I started training. |
