CREATE SPLITS (RUNNING RACES, WORKOUTS & KEY EVENTS:)
To pick a goal race time using your current results, start with a recent road race (5K, 10K, or half marathon). Use a pacing calculator to estimate your equivalent performance at your target distance. This helps you set a realistic yet ambitious goal. Once you have your goal time, break it down into pace per kilometer or mile. Use a pacing chart to plan training runs and simulate race pace. It’s key for tempo runs, intervals, and long runs. Make sure to adjust based on terrain, weather, and how your body feels. Stay consistent, test periodically, and refine your pace. Here's a useful pacing chart to help you build your split plan:
