Introducing My Free Running Tools Hub
As a running coach, I'm often asked the same questions:
- What pace should I run?
- Can I run a 10k in 45 minutes?
- What splits do I need for a sub-4 marathon?
- How fast should my tempo runs be?
Instead of sending runners to different websites or expecting them to work everything out manually, I've built a collection of free online tools to make training and race planning easier.
Whether you're training for your first 5K or chasing a marathon PB, these tools are designed to give you accurate, instant calculations to help you train smarter and race with confidence.
🏃 Race Time Predictor
Have you recently run a 5K, 10K or half marathon and wondered what you could achieve over another distance?
The Race Time Predictor estimates equivalent race performances using established prediction formulas, helping you set realistic targets for your next event.
Perfect for:
- Setting race goals
- Predicting finish times
- Planning future races
- Tracking your progress

It calculates paces for:
- Recovery runs
- Easy runs
- Long runs
- Marathon pace
- Tempo runs
- Threshold sessions
- Interval workouts

- Kilometre split tables
- A complete pacing schedule
