Pace Zones
Different training paces serve different purposes: easy/recovery runs (60-70% effort), tempo runs (80-85%), intervals (90-95%), and race pace varies by distance.
Negative Splits
Running the second half of a race faster than the first is called running negative splits. This is often the most efficient race strategy.
Frequently Asked Questions
Pace = Time ÷ Distance. For example, if you run 5km in 25 minutes, your pace is 5 min/km.
For beginners, a comfortable pace is typically 6-8 min/km (10-13 min/mile). Focus on being able to hold a conversation while running.
Incorporate interval training, tempo runs, and hill workouts. Gradually increase your weekly mileage and include easy recovery runs.
Pace is time per distance (min/km), while speed is distance per time (km/h). Runners typically use pace, while cyclists use speed.
