Pace, speed, and predictions

Pace is time per distance — the runner's native unit. Projecting a 5K pace onto a marathon is optimistic: each doubling of race distance typically slows pace by about 6% (Riegel's rule), so use projections as ceilings, not targets.

Training paces

Most training should run 60–90 seconds per km slower than race pace — easy running builds the aerobic base that race pace spends. If every run is at race effort, the race stops improving.
