Training calculators you’ll actually use
Training paces, age-grading, and heat adjustments—built with research-backed equations (not lookup tables).
Training Pace Calculator
Input your recent race time and distance. Get your complete training pace table (E/M/T/I/R) in min/mile and min/km.
Training Pace Calculator
WMA Age-Grading Calculator
The same standard for every athlete — no excuses, no decline. See how you measure against world-class performance at any age.
Heat-Adjusted Pace Calculator
Adjust your training paces for heat and humidity. Maintain true physiological effort in hot conditions. Essential for summer training and warm-weather racing.
Important:
Pace adjustments are estimates based on research. Conditions vary — trust perceived effort and heart rate as the true guide in heat.

Common questions from runners
Direct answers. No filler.
How do I calculate my training paces from a race result?
Enter your recent race time and distance into our training pace calculator. It uses the Daniels/Gilbert oxygen cost equations to generate your personal Easy, Marathon, Threshold, Interval, and Repetition pace zones — calibrated to your current fitness level, not generic tables.
What is age-graded running performance and why does it matter?
Age-grading compares your performance to world-standard benchmarks for your age using WMA (World Masters Athletics) tables. A 75% age-grade means you ran 75% as fast as the world record for your age group — enabling fair comparison and recognition across all ages.
How much does heat slow down my running pace?
Heat and humidity significantly slow running performance. Our heat-adjusted pace calculator estimates the physiological cost increase using temperature and dew point. Above 55°F adjustments begin; at 80°F+ with high humidity, expect 20–30 seconds per mile of slowdown.
Can runners over 50 still improve with structured training?
Yes — with the right approach. Masters runners adapt well to structured training when recovery is respected. StrideIQ builds N=1 response curves from your own data, ignoring population averages and age-based assumptions that may not apply to you at all.
How does StrideIQ differ from a human running coach?
StrideIQ learns exclusively from your data — not population averages or one coach's intuition. Every insight cites the underlying evidence (dates, run labels, key values). You can verify every claim. It's auditable precision alongside your own judgment as the athlete.
What running data does StrideIQ analyze to improve performance?
StrideIQ syncs with Garmin Connect and Strava to analyze run splits, pace, heart rate, and elevation. Combined with self-reported sleep and nutrition check-ins, it identifies which factors actually correlate with your best and worst performances — specific to you, not population averages.
What is the best AI running coach for marathon training?
The best AI running coach generates training paces from your actual race data, adapts daily based on readiness, and shows evidence for every recommendation. StrideIQ connects Garmin Connect or Strava data with sleep and nutrition to build a complete marathon training picture.
What training paces should I use for a half marathon?
Your half marathon training paces depend on your current fitness, not generic charts. Use our training pace calculator with a recent 5K or 10K result to get personalized Easy, Threshold, and Interval paces. Threshold pace — close to half marathon race pace — is most critical.
