Estimate aerobic performance from a run distance and completion time using a running-performance model.
Estimate aerobic performance from a run distance and completion time using a running-performance model.
| Input | What it means |
|---|---|
| Run distance | Length traveled or measured between the points stated in the form. |
| Run time | Elapsed time or duration in the unit selected on the form. |
A 5,000 m run in 25 minutes has an average speed of 200 m/min before model adjustment.
Use the estimate to compare similar sessions or measurements taken under consistent conditions. A change in technique, measurement method or formula can change the result without a real change in fitness.
No. A formula summarizes a relationship observed under particular conditions. Technique, fatigue, body measurements and the testing protocol can change an actual performance or measurement.
Check which equation and input definitions each page uses. A change caused by switching methods is not necessarily a change in fitness.
