Mathematically, how do you work out 'three quarter pace"?
Let's say (for the sake of easy calculations) your best time for an event is 1 minute. In practice, you want to go three quarter pace. So a 100% effort will result in a time of 60 seconds. A 75% effort should result in a longer time. My rudimentary maths tells me I should divide 100 by 75 and multiply the result by 60. That works out to 80 seconds, which is a minute and 20 seconds. Why does that sound much slower than what I would normally envisage three quarter pace to be? Or is my maths completely messed up?

You look on the money to me... .75*80 seconds=60 seconds if you run the math backward.
Do what I do when you interval seems long: be grateful:bolt:
As to whether that's what your coach envisions when (s)he says three quarter pace, I have absolutely no idea:D
