    How to assess if your easy pace (endurance fondamentale) is right There are several factors to consider when evaluating whether your easy pace is appropriate: The pace is calculated based on your reference time — is the time you entered in your settings recent enough and was it achieved at full effort? This pace is given as a guideline; what matters most is the consistency with your other training paces (VO2 max pace, threshold pace, etc.). When focusing on how you feel, areSome readers

  • My race pace doesn’t match the other paces in my plan — why is that?
    Race pace is the target pace you aim to reach by the end of your training plan, whereas all other paces are based on your initial reference time.

    Both are possible: Standing starts emphasize muscular work and explosiveness. Flying starts require less explosiveness and put less stress on your muscles and tendons, which helps reduce the risk of injury. For short sprint intervals (10–15 seconds) designed to fully stimulate your explosiveness, speed production, and neuromuscular activation, standing starts are encouraged to get the most benefit. For longer sprints, it’s up to you.Few readers

If your training has gone smoothly, and you've completed most sessions while hitting the target times: You're likely capable of running at the preFew readers
  • I don’t understand all the training paces — can you help me?
    Easy Endurance This is your jogging pace, which will make up around 70–80% of your total training time. Your breathing is completely under control, you feel “easy,” and your heart rate stays between 65% and 75% of your max. This pace causes little fatigue, making it ideal for complementing interval workouts. Intervals are the most effective way to improve, but you cFew readers
