Dsix : Max distance (in meters) you can cover in six minutes.
Pmax : (Dsix / 100) Kmph.
Target 5K Time = (300 / (Pmax * 0.95)) minutes
Target 10K Time = (600 / (Pmax *0.85)) minutes
Long workout pace Plong = (Pmax * 0.75).
Medium workout pace Pmed = (Pmax * 0.85).
Fast workout pace Pfast = (Pmax * 1.0).
Recovery pace (Prec) = (3, 4 or 5 kmph) - whatever is comfortable.
Training Paces
Everything must be made as simple as possible but not simpler.
