Q&A #109 - Running race pace and training zone calculators; Estimating your run threshold pace; How to use session-RPE

• Do calculators that estimate and "equivalent race pace" (e.g. from a 10k to a marathon) actually work? 
• What about the recommended training paces from such calculators?
• How can you estimate your running threshold pace (without doing a one-hour time trial)?
• What are best practices for using session-RPE?
