The training desk
Three ways to move forward.
Choose the entry point that matches your next decision, then build from there. No one-size-fits-all promise.
01KM
How to pace the first 1km
Set an effort ceiling that lets you keep running after the work, not just arrive hot at the SkiErg.
Use the pace tool →Station skill, not station panic
Use repeatable movement standards and controlled transitions to reduce avoidable time loss.
Explore station notes →Pace lab tool
Build a race-shape estimate.
This planning tool turns a target finish time into a simple allocation. It is not a prediction, prescription or official timing tool.
PLANNING NOTE
Use the calculator as a pacing checkpoint, then compare it with official standards and your own training evidence.
