The official VDOT Running Calculator, developed by Dr. Jack Daniels, renowned running coach and recipient of the "World's Best Running Coach" title from Runner's World Magazine, in collaboration with the VDOT O2 team.

Based on more than 50 years of scientific research conducted by Dr. Jack Daniels, this calculator allows runners and coaches to quickly determine appropriate training paces, evaluate race performances, and adjust for weather conditions and altitude.

Key Features:

• Calculate time, distance, and race paces.
• Determine your current training paces.
• Compare equivalent performances across different race distances.
• Adjust for the impact of temperature or altitude on training and race paces.

Discover Your VDOT:

VDOT serves as a measure of your current running ability. It assigns a score to every running performance, enabling you to determine your training paces and compare race times across various distances. For example, you can compare your VDOT score from a recent 5k race to that of a friend who just completed a half marathon. Who performed better?

What's Your VDOT Level?

Enter a race result or estimated performance to find out the corresponding VDOT score. Enter all your past performances to determine which race result achieves the highest score. The VDOT scale comprises 10 levels, ranging from Beginner - White (Female: 34.3, Male: 36.8) to Professional - Gold (Female: 71, Male: 80).
