 COACHES CORNER: PACE, it’s what we do!

We have had several questions in regards to pacing. Let’s dive in.

EASY: Conversational Pace or truly a easy pace to allow recovery between runs.

FAST: This is the pace for standard distances as a mile PR pace.  This is the primary pace we utilize for the majority of our runs. It’s ok to go faster than your prescribed pace but only if your able to maintain that pace throughout the WOD. Otherwise, you’ve misjudged and gone out too fast.

MODERATE: This is slower than your mile PR pace. Moderate pace depends on your volume and typically 1-2 seconds/100M slower and so on.  Unless the the volume is significant, and you would add more per 100M.  It also would depend on the variable you are trying to manipulate such as intensity, volume, or recovery. Not Distance.

FASTEST: This is closer to your 400M PR pace.

MAX EFFORT: This is reserved for a true all-out sprint.

To figure your paces take a look at the Cool Running’s link on our main page.
