Ever received a training program, but not sure how to
maximise it by performing your workouts at the correct intensity for your
current fitness level.
Most beginners (and veterans for that matter) train at the wrong intensities and hence don’t attain the results that they long for. Overtraining is merely a waste of time.
Veteran coach Jack Daniels produced a formula over 40 years of coaching that holds fast for those wanting to improve their running. His calculator has been reconstructed in this handy web friendly format.
A word of caution though – make sure you only train at the paces based on a current race time. Training at higher intensity will only result in injury and overtraining as your body and VO2 won’t be strong enough to sustain things.
Safe training is good training.
