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?

Effort level should be calculated off heart rate not time. 100% effort for me is 12 x 100's on 1:20. 90% is on 1:25 and 75% is 1:30. At 1:20 I have a heart rate in the mid to upper 150's. at 1:30 it is in the low 120's.
