Running Calculators - Training Pace, Race Times, Calorie, BMI and Heart Rate Calculators
Running calculators can be incredibly helpful in putting a little bit of science in your running.
Take for example, the Running Pace Calculator. It calculates your running training paces (easy, tempo, interval etc.) based on a recent race performance. A useful tool to determine whether your intervals are too fast (an often seen problem) or your easy runs too fast (even a bigger problem).
Running with a heart rate monitor? Then there are two calculators available to you to calculate your heart rate zones, using a slightly different methodology.
So yes, use some of these calculators from time to time to check in with your training and make sure you are on the right course.
So yes, even for all your relevant running calculators Best-Running-Tips.com is your best choice!
