Running stats explained: Pace, intensity and the Premier League 'plodders'
The Athletic's Michael Cox and Tom Worville join Ali Maxwell to delve into the world of running stats and explain the many different ways in which they are used in the modern game.
We'll look at whether the 'distance covered' stats actually mean anything, at how intense pressing sides may end up running less than you think, and the role of tracking data in the recruitment process.
Plus we consult the data to reveal which players top the sprinting, jogging and walking charts in the Premier League.
