Tinman Running Calculator

He posted on instagram about 30 minutes ago. It's behind a paywall on Final Surge now.

Boo. Cashing in then by the looks of things.

You can make your own CV chart. Lexel isn't the troll you think he is.

Is there a trick to get this to work? When I click download it's a bunch of text? Thanks for any tech help

yes, that "text" is the code of the calculator, you need to save it as an html file and then open that file with your browser

As the guy above said, download as an html. Before I uploaded it I saved it as a 4 minute mile. When you save the time and distance of what ever you entered it will persist until you re open. If you put a bunch of different times and distances in and just close it it will re open as last saved, not last entered. Like an excel sheet this is a master and you can save whatever name you like

Thank you both, I got it working.

Do you have one for the 10K?

Thumbs up this post if you want me to make a Google sheets (free) version of what Tinman is offering. I can do a single 5k and/or 2 race calculator and give it in terms of his old calculator. I have one made already, just with my personal modifications based on my training philosophies.

If you're interested in learning how, look into the Critical Power Model discussed by (mostly) Phil Skiba (or ask).

Here's what I had time for, for now.

Also, the only reason I am doing this is because it was all freely available and he took this down, along with his forum of useful information from many people (not just him), just to make a small profit. If either were still up, there wouldn't be a need for this.

Howcome people always say that threshold pace is "1 hour race pace", yet the tinman calculator says it is slower? For me it is like half marathon pace.

So which is correct?

Thanks math nerd.

Are there any online resources to read about the CP approach, aside from Skiba's book which is impossible to get hold of?

Ummm… no calculator necessary. What he’s calling CV is essentially 10K pace. Tempo would be roughly 1 minute slower than 5K pace. Threshold somewhere in between. Don’t make it too complicated. Too many variables to latch on the concrete numbers nor do they matter.

There's no way you're an adult.

It appears his calculator is not longer free, but a monthly fee. sad

The site is completely offline now. I guess the paywall didn't pay off.
