Recovery Run Pace Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Recovery Run Pace (RRP) is:

\[ RRP = TDP + \left( \frac{5}{60} \right) \]

Where:

Recovery Run Pace (RRP): A relatively slow running pace used after a hard workout or race to help the body recover.
Target Daily Pace (TDP): The normal running pace you aim for during your daily runs.

Let's say your Target Daily Pace (TDP) is 8 minutes per mile. Using the formula:

\[ RRP = 8 + \left( \frac{5}{60} \right) \]

We get:

\[ RRP \approx 8.08 \text{ minutes per mile} \]

So, your Recovery Run Pace would be approximately 8.08 minutes per mile.
