Not a race.

A starting line.

A 2K benchmark on the Wahoo Kickrs at HDN Track. Runners book a 30-minute slot, run 2K, and leave with a Proving Ground Benchmark postcard: their time, and three paces: easy, tempo and threshold.

The number is an input and building blocks for the next build - not a result.

November 15, starting at 8:30 am

A time is a result. Paces are a tool.

A time tells you what happened.

It doesn't tell you what to do next.

You ran a 2K. Good. Now what's your easy pace? Most runners guess, and most guess too fast. What's your threshold? Most runners have never run at it on purpose. Those two numbers decide whether a training block works. Without them you're running hard days too easy, easy days too hard, and wondering why the race didn't go the way the training said it would.

That's what this day gives you. Not a result. A tool. Three paces, worked out from your 2K, written on a card you keep.

It’s the kind of info you’d normally get from a coach - here you’re getting it just by showing up and running 2K.

The Proving Ground

Benchmark Postcard

One per runner. Your 2K time and three paces. You walk away with more than just a time.

Easy, Tempo and Threshold paces are there to tell you HOW to train to be able to hit your target race paces.

The pace most runners get wrong, almost always too fast. Knowing it is the difference between a block you finish and a block you limp through.

EASY

TEMPO

The pace you can hold for an hour. The one that builds a marathon.

The pace most runners get wrong, almost always too fast. Knowing it is the difference between a block you finish and a block you limp through.
