1. What is Pace in Concept 2 Bike Erg?

Pace in Concept 2 Bike Erg refers to the time taken to cover a unit distance, typically expressed in minutes per kilometer (min/km). It's a key metric for tracking performance and comparing workouts.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple pace formula:

Where:

• Time — Duration of the workout in minutes
• Distance — Distance covered in kilometers

Explanation: The formula calculates how many minutes it takes to complete one kilometer on average.

3. Importance of Pace Calculation

Details: Pace is crucial for athletes to monitor their performance, set training goals, and track improvements over time. It helps in planning interval training and race strategies.

4. Using the Calculator

Tips: Enter your workout time in minutes and distance in kilometers. Both values must be positive numbers. For best accuracy, use precise measurements from your Concept 2 Bike Erg monitor.

5. Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What's a good pace on the Concept 2 Bike Erg?
A: This varies by fitness level, but competitive athletes typically maintain paces between 1.5-2.5 min/km for longer distances.

Q2: How does pace relate to power output?
A: Generally, faster paces (lower min/km) correspond to higher power outputs, but the relationship isn't perfectly linear.

Q3: Should I use km or miles for pace calculation?
A: This calculator uses km, but you can convert your distance to km (1 mile = 1.60934 km) if needed.

Q4: How accurate is the pace calculation?
A: The calculation is mathematically precise, but your actual pace may vary during different segments of a workout.

Q5: Can I use this for other cardio machines?
A: While designed for Concept 2 Bike Erg, the calculation works for any consistent distance-based workout.
