Why is VDOT Important?
To improve your running performance, it's crucial to train at the appropriate intensity for your current fitness level, rather than just running fast haphazardly. VDOT (V-dot-O2-max) is an index developed by legendary running coach Jack Daniels to quantify a runner's aerobic capacity, providing a guideline for efficient, injury-free training.
🎯 Injury Prevention
Overtraining is the main cause of injuries. Adhering to the VDOT-prescribed Easy Pace allows you to build mileage safely.
📈 Efficient Training
You can accurately set the intensity for Interval and Threshold training based on your goal race distance, leading to faster progress.
