how fast to run away

[Molly Montgomery]

I got an answer on Twitter that you must increase your speed 20% relative to your average pace to evade. (for me that means slowing my average way down right now, because I can't run fast enough to do that over my regular run pace). I'm new to interval training of any kind...have always been a "slow and steady" kind of runner.
Hope this is helpful  to others!

Thanks, that's helpful.

Thanks! I thought it was something like that. 

Can anyone guess the refresh rate for the GPS? I try to avoid cul-de-sacs' because of this. Also, are we meta-gaming by answering these questions? :P

Anyone know if there are any plans to add an option to input avg speed etc.... I normally run 4.00/km and 20% faster than that is pretty brutal

[DogRunner]

Why then run at 4:15 pace ?

If you know that there will be intervals, I would slow down a bit when running "idle"

[Molly Montgomery]

I'm not sure, but I feel like a cul de sac shouldn't be a problem...the first time I played, and heard the zombies chasing me, I was apparently so into the story that I turned and ran the other way and I evaded just fine. 

Felt like a dope though!

[DogRunner]

Me too.

I normally don't run 3:14 pace (per minutes/km), but when the zombies were chasing, I powered up :)

[Eddie Rodriguez]

Awesome, thank you. How long do you have to keep up the +20% pace?

[DogRunner]

till you heard: zombies evaded ;-)
