Calculate the pace needed for a target 10K finish time.
Dividing the target time by the race distance gives the pace that must be held throughout. The halfway split is the checkpoint that reveals whether the pace is on track early enough to correct. The 10K sits just above threshold pace, which makes it the distance where pacing discipline pays off most relative to raw fitness.
10K Pace
Pace = finish time ÷ 10 km
