You're not the only one. I recently took up running and didn't particularly like any of the existing running pace calculators, so I made my own: https://calcubest.com/health/runningpace

And then kinda realized that there were others I wanted to have, and a few I thought others might want, so I added more.

A calculator is simple enough that it's fun to work on one when I need a break from something more complex but want to be able to do something other than doom scrolling. So now every couple of weeks I add another one.

To anyone thinking of starting running but either doesn't know where to start or thinks he can't do it, look up "couch to 5k".

It's a free NHS audio program that guides your phase so that in 9 weeks you can do a 5k run.

I can second this. That's the program I started with. I'm now training for a half marathon using https://www.baa.org/races/baa-half-marathon/train/leveltwo and I've shaved like a minute off my mile pace while increasing my milage from 6 mile runs to 12 mile runs.

There's lots of programs for running and most of them seem good for improving performance.

No strength training in this?? I have been training legs for years along with runs (treadmill runs/uphill runs etc)... only problem my timing for the half marathon has gone down from 2h35 to 2h38 and then I had an accident last year which made me unable to run most of the second half of last year which has made things a lot tougher for me to train :(
