SETTING YOUR TARGET PACE

There are several components of target pace:

SETTING

FUNCTION

Target pace

(TARGET PACE)

CHRONO MODE

WHAT IS A LAP/SPLIT?

Lap time is the length of an individual segment of your workout activity. Split time is the time elapsed from the beginning of your workout through the current segment.

When you “take a lap/split”, you have completed timing one segment (such as one lap) of the workout and are now timing the next segment.

This graph represents the lap and split times for a workout with 4 laps.

THE BENEFITS OF KNOWING YOUR PACE

Pace is the number of minutes it takes you to run one mile or kilometer.

It is important to know your pace both when you are training and during a race. While training, you can set a pace slightly higher than your race pace to build speed. When you are racing, you can adjust your pace to make up for slow miles or avoid burnout resulting from starting out too fast.

This chart shows the pace to set to achieve your desired race time.
