MAS Running Calculator
What time can you do for your marathon ?10k ?5k ?half marathon ?
Enter the result of your MAS (Maximal Aerobic Speed) test, we will quickly calculate your possible progress and your race pace from 5k to Marathon!
How does it work ?
Nicolas aka Running Addict
On Campus, we train thousands of runners, allowing us to estimate the progress you will make and the time you can achieve!
We use your MAS test result as a reference to which we apply the average percentage we observe in runners we train. The longer you train, the faster the time you can aim for will be!
What is MAS (Maximal Aerobic Speed)?
MAS is the smallest speed at which you reach your maximum oxygen consumption. In other words, it’s a speed at which the aerobic system quickly reaches its limit. You can obtain its value by taking a VAMEVAL type test.
At this speed, we quickly reach our maximum oxygen consumption. We can always accelerate, but the demand for additional energy will be exclusively supplied by another energy system (anaerobic system).
What is the purpose of MAS?
The body adapts based on the stress it perceives. Working on your MAS in running allows you to stimulate the aerobic system to its maximum: from the transport of oxygen from the lungs to its use within the cell, every step is pushed to its limit. It's precisely because the body feels limited that it seeks to improve its physical capabilities. The body does not like to lose!
With training, our oxygen transport and consumption become increasingly significant. But Maximal Aerobic Speed not only improves our aerobic system, the different energy systems work in synergy. At this intensity, the body already extensively uses its anaerobic systems in parallel with the aerobic system, which is reaching its limit.
MAS is therefore an excellent speed for developing your anaerobic system, improving our available carbohydrate quantities, and the efficiency with which we use our carbohydrates over a prolonged period… which is extremely interesting for all runners!
Finally, MAS imposes a very high constraint on our muscles and tendons, strengthening them as they learn to handle this immense mechanical constraint.

Incredible platform, high-quality training plans with real personalization. And a very friendly and active community. A very good experience for all types of runners, from amateurs to confirmed ones.

Go ahead with your eyes closed! I have been using Campus Coach for slightly less than 1 year. I prepared for a half marathon and a marathon with it: the calculation of race goals is really relevant, the variety and difficulty of the training is TOP-notch and the support is very responsive! On top of that, a really nice community... All at a very reasonable price: I see nothing but advantages with Campus!
Christophe
