VDOT Running Calculator
What's Your Pace?
The VDOT calculator, developed from Jack Daniels’ VDOT system, is a tool used to estimate a runner’s fitness level and prescribe training paces based on recent race performances. It provides pace recommendations for different workouts, including easy runs, intervals, and tempo runs, ensuring structured and effective training. By incorporating physiological principles, it helps runners train efficiently and gauge progress over time.
To use the VDOT calculator, enter a recent race time or your VDOT value. The calculator will estimate your current fitness level and provide recommended training paces for different run types, such as easy runs, tempo runs, intervals, and race predictions. Use these paces to structure your training effectively and track progress over time.
