About this app

The official VDOT Running Calculator, designed by Dr. Jack Daniels - named World's Best Running Coach by Runner's World Magazine - and the team at V.O2.

Thanks to over 50 years of scientific research conducted by legendary coach Dr. Jack Daniels, runners and coaches can quickly determine appropriate training paces, equate race performances and adjust for heat and altitude.

Features:
• Calculate time, distance and race paces
• Calculate your current training paces
• Calculate and compare the equivalent performances of a race result at other distances
• Calculate the effect of temperature or altitude on training and race paces

What's Your VDOT?

VDOT is a measure of your current running ability. It assigns a score to all running performances, let's you determine your current training paces, and equates a race time in one distance to another. For instance, you can compare your VDOT score from a recent 5k result to a friend's score who just ran a half marathon. Who won?

What VDOT Level Have You Reached?

Input a race result or estimated performance and learn what score it reaches on the VDOT scale. Enter all your past performances to see which race result scores the highest. There are 10 levels starting at Beginner - White (Female: 34.3, Male: 36.8) all the way up to Professional - Gold (Female: 71, Male: 80).

Good overall, but don't change phones if you get premium. I had the premium option but when I got my new phone the button to restore purchase isnt actually a button. It looks like one but you can click all you want and nothing happens. While the app isn't very expensive, it's extremely annoying that I will have to purchase again. I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling the app a few times as well to see if it was a glitch but the "button" is just words on a screen and nothing else

Hi Brooke, we're really sorry for the inconvenience. You do not need to repurchase premium. The "Restore Premium" button is currently broken. We will fix and resolve shortly. Please email us at info@vdoto2.com so we can keep you updated on the fix. Thank you for reporting.

Very Nice app, really nice!!! But i would definitely love to put the weight and hight there, that the caclulator would give me more precision on Vdoto2 and training paces. Also consider adding and resting heart rate. All these are crucial for giving as precise as possible Vdoto2 pace. Can you tell me please why you don't have considered putting those metrics in the app? Also would like to have a range for the pace, it's not possible from gps watches to have a stable pace, for instance as you have done for the easy run (that has a range) i'd like to have a range and for the other paces. Thank you, I like a lot the app great job

Please get rid of the scrolling dial type input for race time. It's needlessly time consuming. Replace with text boxes. Also, the app should remember the time you input last time you used the app. Currently I can get more functionality on a website then with this app.
