đ Multipoint Pace Calculator
The following calculator can determine the pace of segments of a run (or other activity) for those with access to the time at intermittent points during the run. For example, if a person runs from point A to point B, then to point C, records the time at each point, and subsequently determines the distance between those points, the multipoint calculator can determine how fast the person traveled between each pair of points.

đ Training Through Pace and Heart Rate
Pace is a rate of activity or movement, while heart rate is measured as the number of times that a person's heart contracts over a minute. Pace and heart rate have a positive correlation; higher pace corresponds to higher heart rate. The use of both in training can help a person improve performance, avoid over-training, as well as track progress and fitness over time.
Measuring and Estimating Heart Rate and Heart Rate Zones:
Heart rate can be measured in different ways, from using devices such as heart rate monitors, to simply looking at a watch while measuring pulse at some peripheral point such as the wrist or neck. Some of the more notable measurements of heart rate include resting heart rate and maximum heart rate, which are often used to estimate specific target heart rate zones to determine different levels of exercise.
Maximum Heart Rate Formula
MHR = 220 - age
Aerobic vs. Anaerobic Exercise:
Aerobic and anaerobic exercise are often mentioned in the context of endurance training and running. Generally, anaerobic exercises (~80-90% MHR) involve short, intense bursts of activity while aerobic exercises (~70-80% MHR) involve light activity sustained over a long period of time. An exercise intensity level of 55-85% of MHR for 20-30 minutes is generally recommended to attain the best results from aerobic exercise.
