This online tool assists runners in determining appropriate training paces based on recent race performances or estimated maximum heart rate and lactate threshold heart rate. It leverages physiological principles to suggest paces for different workout types, such as long runs, tempo runs, and interval training. An example application would be a runner entering their marathon finish time to receive recommended paces for various training sessions.
Accurate training paces are crucial for optimizing running performance and minimizing the risk of injury. By providing personalized pace recommendations, this resource helps runners avoid excessive training stress while ensuring workouts are sufficiently challenging to stimulate physiological adaptations. Historically, determining training paces often relied on generalized formulas or subjective perception of effort. This tool represents a more sophisticated and individualized approach, leveraging data and physiological understanding for improved training outcomes.
