1. Marathon Target Prediction from a 10K Race
Marathon RunnerBackground
A runner recently completed a 10K race in 50 minutes and wants to estimate their marathon finish time and establish training zones.
Problem
Predicting a realistic marathon time and determining aerobic training zones to avoid overtraining.
How to use
Enter a recent race distance of 10 km, a time of 50 minutes, age of 35, resting heart rate of 60 bpm, and LTHR of 170 bpm.
recentRaceDistance: 10, distanceUnit: 'km', raceTimeMinutes: 50, age: 35, restingHeartRate: 60, lactateThresholdHeartRate: 170Outcome
Calculates a VDOT of 40.01, predicts a marathon time of 3:50:01, and outputs customized Karvonen and LTHR heart rate zones.
