AEO Quick Answers

Direct answers for common running questions

How do I calculate marathon goal pace?

Enter a recent race result and target distance. Zone2Cal estimates finish time with the Riegel model, then converts that result into average pace and split targets.

What should I use for Zone 2 heart rate?

Use 60-70% of max heart rate as a baseline, or use Karvonen when you know resting heart rate and want a more personalized range.

How do treadmill speed and outdoor pace match?

Convert km/h or mph into min/km and min/mile, then compare the result with your target workout pace and 400m split reference.
