Percentage of preferred speed most of the time for better standardisation but kindof depends on research question. We've tested runners at set speeds and then acknowledged their preferred speed/SB equivalent was x km/hr so you'd an idea of how fast/slow that movement would have been for them

Feels a bit like the 'hey I'm new here, thanks for letting me join, here's a photo I took' posts that appear on Facebook (am I allowed mention that thing here??) but in the spirit of that, here's a random cute puppy pic.
