Running Training Zones

Easy/Recovery

60-70% of max heart rate. Used for recovery runs, warm-ups, and cool-downs. You should be able to hold a conversation comfortably.

Aerobic/Endurance

70-80% of max heart rate. Builds aerobic capacity and endurance. Comfortable but purposeful pace for longer runs.

Tempo

80-90% of max heart rate. "Comfortably hard" pace that you could maintain for about an hour in a race.

Threshold

88-92% of max heart rate. The fastest pace you can sustain for about an hour. Improves lactate threshold.

Interval/VO2 Max

95-100% of max heart rate. High-intensity intervals that improve VO2 max and running economy.

About Running Pace

What is Pace?

Pace is a measure of how fast you're running, typically expressed as the time it takes to cover a certain distance (e.g., minutes per kilometer or mile). It's a key metric for runners to track performance and progress.

Why Calculate Pace?

Knowing your pace helps you set realistic goals, track improvements, and develop effective training strategies. It's essential for race planning and ensuring you don't start too fast in longer events.

Pace vs. Speed

Pace (time per distance) and speed (distance per time) are inversely related. Runners typically use pace, while cyclists often use speed. Both provide valuable insights into performance.

Factors Affecting Pace

Your pace can be influenced by terrain, weather, fitness level, fatigue, and running experience. It's normal for pace to vary from day to day based on these factors.
