How to Use This Calculator
- Follow the step-by-step wizard — complete each step before moving to the next. This guided approach ensures you provide all the necessary information in a logical order.
- Activity Type — Choose your activity for appropriate calculations. Choose from: Running, Cycling. default: 0.
- Unit System — Choose your preferred measurement system. Choose from: Imperial (miles, lbs), Metric (km, kg). default: 0.
- Distance — Total distance covered. Accepts values from 0.1 miles/km to 500 miles/km (default: 3.1 miles/km).
- Hours — Hours component of total time. Accepts values from 0 to 48 (default: 0).
- Minutes — Minutes component of total time. Accepts values from 0 to 59 (default: 25).
- Seconds — Seconds component of total time. Accepts values from 0 to 59 (default: 0).
- Age — Used for heart rate zones and VO2 max calculation. Accepts values from 10 years to 100 years (default: 30 years).
- Weight — Used for calorie calculations. Accepts values from 50 lbs/kg to 500 lbs/kg (default: 150 lbs/kg).
- Gender — Used for VO2 max estimation. Choose from: Male, Female. default: 0.
- Resting Heart Rate — Measure in the morning before getting up. Accepts values from 30 bpm to 120 bpm (default: 60 bpm).
- Expand "Advanced Options" for additional fine-tuning. These optional inputs let you model more specific scenarios:
- Max Heart Rate — Leave at 0 to calculate from age (220 - age). Accepts values from 0 bpm to 220 bpm (default: 0 bpm).
- Split Display — How to display split times. Choose from: Per Mile, Per Kilometer. default: 0.
