The Williams Pace Calculator © App is the latest digital version of the road and track running pace calculator that Bill Bowerman, the legendary coach and NIKE co-founder, used for training world-class runners at the University of Oregon and for the Olympic Games. His renowned ‘Men of Oregon’ athletes broke performance barriers, winning a total of 4 NCAA Team Championships and 24 NCAA individual titles.

Developed by Bob Williams, a Bowerman protégé and All-American Steeplechaser at the University of Oregon, the Williams Pace Calculator © provides an intelligent approach to training. The Williams Pace Calculator © offers all coaches, athletes and recreational runners a quick and easy way to calculate paces and splits - on-demand, anywhere and at their fingertips.

It’s the most valuable tool a coach and a serious runner can have.”

Accurately tailored pace and split calculation is a critical component of a well-planned and effective training program. This latest digital version is easier to use and more accurate than all previous versions. It will literally save you even more time as you plan your training, or the training of your athletes and runners.

The Home Screen provides you with the options of obtaining split paces for both Track and Road distances. To use the Williams Pace Calculator © App, simply select a Track or Road distance and enter a time you ran or would like to run. Then touch the CALCULATE button and the calculated table of splits will instantly appear. Track times are calculated precisely, to one-hundredth, 0.01, of a second. Road times usefully bring distance times to the closest full second.

TRACK
After inputting your Track distance and time, the calculated Track splits provide, on a single screen, all of the popular track repetition training and race distances from 100m to 10000m, plus the Mile, to use for planning and training.

ROAD
After inputting your Road distance and time, the calculated Road splits provide, on a single screen, all of the popular track repetition training distances from 200m to 1600m, plus the Mile and all road distances to the Marathon, to use for planning and training.

This App is unique. ......... No other Pace calculator provides all the available splits for a Pace on a single screen. I find that multi-distance repetition sessions and intermediate splits are all easy to plan without having to re-enter data”

TESTIMONIALS


“Thanks for the Pace Calculator! I found out about your calculator from another coaching colleague. It has been a Godsend - better than the other calculator apps for phones.”
— M.A., High School Coach, St. Louis, Missouri

“I’ve been using this calculator since the early 1980s and don’t plan a race or workout pace without it. Although there are other similar devices or apps now available, this tool is easy to use and always accurate. I’ve used it with high school, collegiate, post-collegiate/professional athletes and believe that it has been instrumental in our coaching successes. Along with my stopwatch, the Bob Williams Pace Calculator is always in my coaching backpack.”
— Mike Caldwell, Coach, Greenville ELITE Track Club, South Carolina

“The greatest tool for a prepared coach is the Williams Pace Calculator. The App is fantastic. If a coach really wants to individualize training, I don’t think there is a tool more vital than the Williams Pace Calculator. Even after 52 seasons of years of coaching, I’d be lost without it.”
— Christopher Johnson, Head X-Country and Track & Field Coach, Siuslaw High School, Oregon

“Love the Pace Calculator App!”
