The following pace charts are intended as a training aid for preparing for races.  They include two different types of data:  time as a function of speed and  speed as a function of time.  Where time is the independent (input) variable it is shown in bold.  Where speed is the input variable it is shown in bold.  For example, in the 5K chart, the line that shows the speed at 10mph, it is shown in bold, and the pace is calculated at 6 mpm and the overall time as 18:38.               
        We also show RASAC age records and other significant times, where recorded time is the input variable and the pace and speed are calculated.  Here, we are currently transitioning from using the five-year age-group National Standards to a set of interpolated standards which will give fairer results for National Standard Ratios (NSR) as we progress through an age-group.              
        Club records are counted only for courses with club or national  certification.  In the case of the Susquehanna 5K, which was originally measured at 5K, but is run at a shorter distance, as the start and finish line were moved for safety reasons, the course has been remeasured at 3.06 miles, and comparisons to the national standard  are adjusted accordingly.
