A tool designed for estimating training and racing speeds associated with a specific physiological intensity level, commonly referred to as “Critical Power level 2” allows users to input data like distance, time, or power output to predict performance benchmarks. For example, entering a recent race time can provide estimated paces for other distances at the same exertion level.
Accurate pacing strategies are crucial for optimal performance in endurance sports. This type of tool provides athletes and coaches with the ability to personalize training plans and predict race outcomes. It enables more effective workouts by targeting specific physiological zones and helps prevent overtraining or underperforming on race day. The development of these tools reflects the increasing sophistication of sports science and its application to individualized training programs.
