==Modified Tempo Paces==
The second edition of Jack Daniels provides a table of paces for longer but slower tempo runs. However, the third edition has dropped this table, along with the use of continuous runs at Tempo pace, instead using Tempo only for interval training.
<include_PHP file="VdotInc_ModTempo"/>
The tempo paces are only given in the book in increments of 5 VDOT values, so this calculator uses linear interpolation for the intervening values. Values for VDOT values below 30 uses a calculation.

=High Intensity Interval Training and Tabata Paces=
I don't generally recommend using running for [[High Intensity Interval Training]] (HIIT) workouts because I believe that for many people there is less risk of injury by using a stationary bike. However, if you want 'd like to, the know what your paces would need to be here's a table below shows the paces for some of the more common HIIT intensities. (170% [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] corresponds with the intensity used by the Tabata protocol).
<include_PHP file="VdotInc_HIITPaces"/>
=V̇O<sub>2</sub>max Paces=
Sometimes it is useful to know what pace corresponds to a given percentage of VO2max, so the table below provides some estimates.
<include_PHP file="VdotInc_VO2maxPaces"/>
=Long Run Difficulty=
The table below shows the percentage of [[Glycogen]] used on runs of different length and pace. This is one way of evaluating the relative difficulty of different longer runs. The table makes use of a number of assumptions, as listed below, but I believe this is still a useful way of evaluating training runs.

=Predicted Race Times=
The following tables give predictions of race performance at various distances. The prediction uses [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] calculations up to marathon distance, then David F. Cameron's Model for longer distances. However, predicting race performance for [[A brief guide to ultramarathon distances| ultramarathon distances]] does not have much value as factors other than aerobic fitness are significant. Even small [[Fixing problems in Ultramarathons| issues in ultramarathons]] can have a dramatic impact on your finish time.

==Predicted Race Paces from VDOT with Heat Index Adjustment==
=Long Runs for Jack Daniels Marathon Plans=
These tables are included because the definitions in the book are a little complex, and it is not obvious what the total distance, time or difficulty is for of some of these long runs. This is especially true of the elite plan for non-elite runners, where there is scaling of the time & distance. These workouts are not intended to replace the Jack Daniels book, but to supplement it.

==Jack Daniels Marathon Scaled Elite /12 Weeks Plan Long Runs==As the name suggests, the Jack Daniels Elite Plan is intended for elite marathon runners with a race time of 2:10 or less (VDOT 77+). The plan calls for scaling the workouts for sub-elite runners, with each mile being replaced with a time at the given pace. So an elite runner's 8 miles at easy pace becomes 48 minutes at easy pace. Likewise, marathon and tempo paces are scaled to 5 minutes and 4:45 respectively. This plan is called the elite plan in the second edition and the 12 week plan in the third edition.
<include_PHP file="VdotInc_JDMarathonElite"/>
==Jack Daniels Marathon Unscaled Elite /12 Weeks Plan Long Runs==
This version of the elite plan is without the scaling, and is not what Jack Daniels recommends. It is included here for comparison.
