DEKA FIT splits & pacing FAQ

How does this DEKA FIT time calculator work?

+

It converts a recent race time into an equivalent 5k pace, adds a race uplift for your background (10% for runners, up to 22% if you're new to training), and weights the 10 zones to your strengths. You can fine-tune every split.

How long does DEKA FIT take?

+

Most solo athletes finish somewhere between about 30 and 75 minutes. Our benchmarks put a typical mid-pack finish at around 44 minutes for men and 50 minutes for women.

How fast should I run the 500 m runs?

+

The runs are short, so they are closer to 5k pace than in longer fitness races. As a starting point, a hybrid athlete with a 20-minute 5k might average around 4:30/km, or about 2:15 per 500 m.

Do DEKA zone times include transitions?

+

Yes. DEKA zone splits include the transition in and out of each zone, so there is no separate transition time to add.

What's the difference between DEKA FIT, MILE and STRONG?

+

All three use the same 10 zones. DEKA FIT has a 500 m run before each zone (5 km in total), DEKA MILE has 160 m runs (1 mile in total) and DEKA STRONG has no running. This calculator covers DEKA FIT.
