Track Calculator Plotter
This Java applet at the moment will calculate your Pace and Performance Factor
for a give time and distance. See my other pages to learn more about PF.
Clikcing the Button "Calc" will do this. Clicking the Button "Plot" will
plot the world record Velocity VS Distance Curve. (There may be problems
with Netscape versions other than PC Windows - A Sun and an Alpha did not
show the "plot" button). When you enter a time and distance and click
on "plot" the value of yor performance is placed on the graph as a red
point. (At the moment the distance must be under 1.5 miles)
The World Record Velocity-Distance curve was calculated by linear regression
on the world records in about 1970. Additional features are planned, such
as plotting your performance curve based on your single value, as well
as plotting Purdy PT, and VO2max curves. Plotting current world record values and
the last X values enter in my Old track calculator is also planned.
