hey everybody hope you're doing well so
I recently ran a 5k race and I want to
use this race an example of how to
project the time for a longer distance
race like a half marathon America so
let's get right into it okay so I'm over
here at my Garmin training center
I had a Garmin watch on that tracked
down GPS for my 5k race so what it
basically says here is that you can see
the total distance just about a 5k here
at 3.1 miles that's what a 5k is I'm
just a little bit under my total time is
about 22 minutes and 50 seconds there
right below it are the mile splits so
each mile it shows what the pace I was
running at so I was up were seven forty
seven forty and then I had a good third
mile and both just under seven minute
pace there so based off of this total
time we're able to project what I could
be white could be running at a longer
race distance so let's flip over to the
jack daniel´s running calculator and see
how it works out all right so I'm over
here my internet explorer all I have to
do is look up Jeff Daniels running and
kind of scroll down and not that Jack
Daniels for this one he right here the V
dot running calculator and I'll have a
link in the description below as well so
once you get over here I like to do so I
ran a 5k automatically fills out my time
22 minutes 50 seconds and from that what
happens is the automatically detect
where your pace was for that 5k race
that I ran
and then what do we do is we flip over
here now this is kind of the cool part
so based off your 5k time or off my 5k
time it's telling me you know during
training what I should be running one is
my easy miles should be in the nine
minutes or so a marathon training pace
will be 819 we'll get into that a little
bit later the threshold so if you click
on here I'll tell you what your
threshold is
threshold paces comfortably hard running
for about a study three to four miles
consistently consecutively so that's how
that's kind of the pace that you want to
run at during those three to four miles
is 749 it's a little bit faster than the
ease and miles intervals so the same
same thing here it's usually paced that
you can maintain for about 10 to 15
minutes in a serious race so 10 to 15
minutes maybe three miles for some
people maybe about two miles or one mile
but it says my interval pace is about
seven eleventh right now based off of
that that race time and then repetition
is obviously that the faster running
speeds what do you do to your track
workouts how you know what train target
you should be running at based on like
uh right here a 400 meter or so distance
there so the equivalent is where you
projections will start down here at the
5k Vista so my time was about 2250 this
says here 2250 - and it shows me my pace
but as we go up you will show you
projections through your 10k time your
half marathon and their marathon so
based off my 5k time of 2250 I'm
projected to finish a marathon if I
follow this training schedule by project
time be around 338 and that's a 19
minute per mile pace so it just based
off this calculator here it's fairly
accurate because I was pretty accurate
because I've used this before when I've
done my marathon trains for Chicago and
Boston
as my training really ramped up you know
I started my first one or two weeks of
the training cycle was slower because I
was starting to get back into shape but
as I could progress more and more
through my training cycle closer to race
day you really refined what my what my
time was so I believe I did a half from
path marathon about five to six weeks
before Chicago Marathon and it was
really close to a three ten finish time
projected finish time because I did I
believe it was a 1:30 half marathon one
hour thirty minute half marathon instead
of projected about 310 so that's where I
bought I finished after one of my
Chicago marathons so that's how you use
a calculator yeah it's a really cool
neat tool to use for your runners out
there you know whether you're beginning
advanced or intermediate if this is a
really cool clock calculator view is
just to base your training off of here
so there it is and good luck with your
training if any questions leave a
