Welcome to Run4PRs Coaching! We are so excited to have you! To begin, we are going to start with a time trial to assess your current VDOT and assign paces specific and custom to your fitness level.
2 mi easy warm up
2 miles - FAST
1 mi easy cool down
Plug in the results of the 2 miles fast into this calculator: https://runsmartproject.com/calculator/
We will refer to these paces over the course of your training. If you set new PRs during races along the way in training, please recalculate your paces to be at the right VDOT :)
