![]() Download Your Runner’s World+ Training Plans.If you don’t have PRs in all those distances, think about it as a way to gauge effort level-like running by perceived effort, or RPE, or even heart rate training. In a treadmill class or in a race training plan, coaches may take you through intervals alternating through efforts at mile best pace, 5K pace, 10K pace, half marathon pace, and marathon pace. Training using a variety of race paces is essentially interval training. ![]() For example: Your 5K race pace is going to be way different from your marathon race pace, because the distance is so much shorter. Race pace, at its most literal, is the actual pace you can hold for a specific race effort. How are you supposed to know your mile best pace or your half marathon pace if you’ve never raced those distances? Well, here’s the good news: You can still train with race pace! Here’s what you need to know. But if you’ve never actually raced a certain distance before and have no idea what speed you can maintain for that mileage, the concept of race pace can be daunting. Both treadmill class instructors and training plans may utilize race paces for certain workouts, and even group run leaders may ask you to share your race pace to gauge where you’ll fall in the pack depending on the distance. Your race pace isn’t something you only encounter once you cross the start line.
