This online tool provides runners with customized training paces based on recent race results. Users input their performance in a specific distance, and the tool calculates equivalent paces for various other distances, including tempo runs, interval training, and long runs. For instance, a runner entering a marathon finishing time can obtain recommended paces for a 5k or a half-marathon.
This approach to pace calculation offers runners a structured and personalized training plan. By basing training paces on proven race results, it helps avoid overtraining and promotes consistent improvement. Grounded in exercise physiology principles, the methodology originated from the work of Greg McMillan, a renowned running coach and exercise physiologist. His formulas, widely adopted by runners of all levels, aim to optimize training intensity for optimal performance gains.
