How Greg works
Greg's system starts with a goal race and a recent race time. The calculator then sets training paces for recovery jogs, easy runs, long runs, tempo runs, cruise intervals, and speed work. It also includes specialty paces such as critical velocity, lactate threshold, and VO2max. A Bakken Double Threshold range is included for runners who follow the Norwegian method. Runners are also grouped into types, such as the Endurance Monster, to guide training.
