Just wondering what people ran on an average work out for fitness etc
ALso what do you reckon the average run speed is over say a 20min work out?

Trying to calibrate my Nike+ to K's as I dont think its quite spot on just yet
 
That's a really strange question. Are you asking us to set you targets?

Are you asking what sort of distances are good to aim for?

What exactly do you wish to acieve with your running?
 
lol yeah probably did not quite explain what I meant -

Basically for instance I just completed a run.

Details:
Distance: 3.37km
Time: 23mins
Pace (incl warm up and down): 7.00/km

Now I just wanted to know whether other people knew their kind of stats.
How far they ran in their time - that kind of information.

Will help me a bit in calibrating my Nike+

Cheers

So that I can compare really.

Now if people are running similar distances in similar times I can see that the pace average is ok and ALSO that im not running real slow ;)

Average speed of 7km didnt seem right to me ?
Just a piece of mind thing I guess
 
Oh it would probably help targets to. If 7km is well below average then thats something I have to work on - or if its above average then I can up the distances :rolleyes:
 
Yeah, but you might be RUNNING slow.

I think i can run the distance you are talking about at a pace of at least 12km, possibly a bit faster.

What you need to do is to use Google Earth to measure a distance that you can run withou interruption. Don't include a warm up in this measurement.

Time how long it takes you to run it and then contrast it against what your gadget says.
 
Ok cool - that sounds like a better idea ;)

Just getting into running outside the gym and want to build up my stamina.

Plus I like gadgets :D

Thanks for the help and sorry for the bad explaining :(
