The official VDOT Running Calculator, designed by Dr. Jack Daniels - named World's Best Running Coach by Runner's World Magazine - and the team at VDOT O2. Thanks to over 50 years of scientific research conducted by legendary coach Dr. Jack Daniels, runners and coaches can quickly determine appropriate training paces, equate race performances and adjust for heat and altitude. Features: • Calculate time, distance and race paces • Calculate your current training paces • Calculate and compare the equivalent performances of a race result at other distances • Calculate the effect of temperature or altitude on training and race paces What's Your VDOT? VDOT is a measure of your current running ability. It assigns a score to all running performances, let's you determine your current training paces, and equates a race time in one distance to another. For instance, you can compare your VDOT score from a recent 5k result to a friend's score who just ran a half marathon. Who won? What VDOT Level Have You Reached? Input a race result or estimated performance and learn what score it reaches on the VDOT scale. Enter all your past performances to see which race result scores the highest. There are 10 levels starting at Beginner - White (Female: 34.3, Male: 36.8) all the way up to Professional - Gold (Female: 71, Male: 80).

Flooxe es la app de los corredores peruanos: calcula tu ritmo, planifica tu nutrición de carrera, sigue tus kilómetros y gestiona tu suscripción de suplementos, todo en un lugar. CALCULADORA DE RITMO Dinos tu tiempo objetivo y te damos la tabla de parciales kilómetro a kilómetro, con negative split si quieres cerrar fuerte. Incluye el predictor de Riegel: corriste 10K en 48 minutos, tu maratón realista es 3h42. Y ajusta por calor, humedad y altitud, algo que importa de verdad cuando corres en Lima y compites en Cusco o Arequipa. PLAN DE NUTRICIÓN Con tu peso, la distancia y tu tiempo estimado calculamos: • La carga de carbohidratos de los dos días previos, en gramos y en comida real. • El desayuno de tres horas antes. • Cuántos geles necesitas y el kilómetro exacto de cada toma. • Cuánto líquido y cuánto sodio por hora. Al final te decimos exactamente qué llevar, y lo agregas a tu pedido de una vez. CALENDARIO DE CARRERAS EN PERÚ Maratones, 10K, trails y triatlones, con cuenta regresiva a tu próxima carrera. Se actualiza solo, sin tener que actualizar la app. STICKERS PARA TUS HISTORIAS Dieciséis diseños en blanco y negro para compartir tu carrera en Instagram. Los ves todos con los datos de tu propia carrera y eliges el que te gusta, sin ir probando uno por uno. Decides qué dato va grande —distancia, tiempo, ritmo, velocidad, desnivel— y se exporta con fondo transparente para pegarlo sobre tu foto, o con tu foto ya incrustada. TUS KILÓMETROS Conecta Apple Salud o Strava y mira tus kilómetros del mes, tu racha y tus predicciones de tiempo para cada carrera del calendario, calculadas con tu mejor marca reciente.
