    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Naismith's_rule

    Pace [6] in minutes per kilometre or mile vs. slope angle resulting from Naismith's rule [7] for basal speeds of 5 and 4 km / h. [n 1]The original Naismith's rule from 1892 says that one should allow one hour per three miles on the map and an additional hour per 2000 feet of ascent.

  3. vVO2max - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VVO2max

    The vV̇O 2 max of world class middle- and long-distance runners may exceed 24 km/h or 2:30/km pace (15 mph or about 4:00/mile), making this speed slightly comparable to 3000 m race pace. For many athletes, vV̇O 2 max may be slightly slower than 1500 m or mile race pace. [citation needed]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tobler's_hiking_function

    The velocity on the flat terrain is 5 km / h, the maximum speed of 6 km / h is achieved roughly at -2.86°. [ 5 ] On flat terrain this formula works out to 5 km/h.

  5. Pace (unit) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pace_(unit)

    In the United States the pace is an uncommon customary unit of length denoting a brisk single step and equal to 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 feet or 30.0 inches or 76.2 centimetres. [ 3 ] [ 4 ] The Ancient Roman pace ( Latin : passus ) was notionally the distance of a full stride from the position of one heel where it raised off of the ground to where it set ...

    The greater the intensity that is put into the run will carry out into the finish of this run. Many runners attack the 400 meter dash at the full 100%, but by starting with a medium to high running pace such as 75%, it then works up to all out, to about 100%. [9] Using threshold running in an event such as the 400 meters it can be very beneficial.

  7. 0 to 60 mph - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/0_to_60_mph

    The time it takes a vehicle to accelerate from 0 to 60 miles per hour (97 km/h or 27 m/s), often said as just "zero to sixty" or "nought to sixty", is a commonly used performance measure for automotive acceleration in the United States and the United Kingdom. In the rest of the world, 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62.1 mph) is used.

  8. Running energetics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Running_energetics

    This suggests that running economy, or the energy cost of running at a given submaximal speed, may be a valid predictor of performance especially within homogeneous groups of trained runners. [16] There is also evidence that intense endurance training can improve economy within an individual.

    Race time prediction formula, running course certification. Peter Riegel (January 30, 1935 – May 28, 2018) was an American research engineer who developed a mathematical formula for predicting race times for runners and other athletes given a certain performance at another distance.
