The Right Pace is where I organize my reading notes on running and endurance sports.

I love running, and I love diving into the science and methodology behind it — from training theory and exercise physiology to motor control and neuromuscular coordination. I find that writing things down deepens my own understanding, and I hope these notes serve as a useful reference for other runners looking to improve.

What you’ll find here:

• Book summaries & reading notes: books, research papers, and professional podcasts.
• Training concepts explained: heart rate zones, polarized training, lactate threshold, VO2Max, and more.
• Motor control & running economy: exploring running mechanics through a dynamical systems lens, and how strength training actually transfers to running efficiency.
• Race reports & race-day strategy.

About the Author

I’m Paul, a runner who enjoys studying the science and methodology of endurance sports.

I’ve been involved in endurance sports for over 10 years — starting with triathlon and gradually narrowing my focus to running and marathon training. Through the highs and lows of training motivation over the years, one thing has stayed constant: my curiosity about endurance performance.

Beyond energy system training, I’m fascinated by the neuromuscular control and biomechanics of runners, and I’m always looking for more adaptive, dynamic training prescriptions that match how runners actually move.
