Your paces with a MAS of 11.5 km/h
Endurance, threshold, intervals: each zone as a pace per kilometre, and your 200, 400 and 1,000 m times.
With a maximal aerobic speed (MAS) of 11.5 km/h, easy running sits between 8:42 and 6:57 per kilometre, threshold between 6:08 and 5:40, and a 400 m at 100% MAS takes 2:05.

- 6-minute test: the distance run in 6 minutes divided by 100. Cooper test: in 12 minutes, divided by 200.
- Incremental test (VAMEVAL, Léger-Boucher): your maximal aerobic speed is the speed of the last stage you completed.
- Estimated VO2max ≈ 3.5 × maximal aerobic speed: a benchmark, not a lab measurement.
Frequently asked questions
The 6-minute test can be run alone on a track. VAMEVAL, more precise, needs an audio track and cones every 20 m.
