Find your goal finish time in the left column and read across for the average pace you need per kilometre and per mile. Train at that pace in specific sessions — not on every run.

How to run your goal time

A chart tells you the pace. Rutz builds the weeks that get you fit enough to hold it — and rewrites them when life gets in the way.
