The Importance of Running Pace
A runners’ pace is used to calculate the time it takes to run a single mile. Proper pacing can aid a runner in energy preservation, energy optimization, endurance, and improving run times. Monitoring and measuring pace can provide a runner with key information that can be used to adjust their training and recovery regimen to achieve the best results over time.
