10 Hour 4K Virtual Run: High School Track Lap

Enjoy a 4K virtual run around a scenic high school track for as long as you want, from a 100 meter sprint, all the way up to a 10-hour ultra marathon, and never get rained on!

The average pace during recording was 1 minute and 50 seconds per lap (7'20 per mile, 4'33 per kilometer), and the average speed was 8.18 mph and 13.17 kph. You can speed up or slow down the virtual pace or speed by changing the playback speed of the video. If you run for 10 hours at 8.18 mph, you'll run 81.8 miles (131.7 kilometers).

You can just play the video at the standard speed regardless of the speed you walk or run, but if you want to change the playback speed, here are the approximate equivalent paces and running/walking speeds (but mute the video's audio if you slow it down, because it sounds awful that way):

---Apparent Virtual Pace & Speed---
Playback Speed = Minutes'Seconds/Mile & MPH; Minutes'Seconds/Kilometer & KPH
0.25 = 29'20/mile, 2.05 mph; 18'14/km, 3.29 kph
0.5 = 14'40/mile, 4.09 mph; 9'07/km, 6.58 kph
0.75 = 11'00/mile, 5.45 mph; 6'50/km, 8.78 kph
1.0 = 7'20/mile, 8.18 mph; 4'33/km, 13.17 kph
1.25 = 6'25/mile, 9.35 mph; 3'59/km, 15.05 kph
1.5 = 5'30/mile, 10.91 mph; 3'25/km, 17.56 kph
1.75 = 4'35/mile, 13.09 mph; 2'51/km, 21.07 kph
2.0 = 3'40/mile, 16.36 mph; 2'17/km, 26.33 kph

Since this is on my Treadmill Sprinter video channel, you might wonder what this has to do with treadmills or sprinting. Well, it's intended as a virtual run that you can watch while on a treadmill, long enough to outlast any run you do, and if you play it at 2x speed, it sure looks like sprinting to me.

Regardless of how you use this video, keep on walking, running, or sprinting!

********************
Purpose: I made this point-of-view (POV) video because I do almost all my walking and running on my treadmill at home, but I miss being able to run on the track. There are lots of other virtual running videos on other channels that I enjoy that are in beautiful places, but sometimes I really want to feel like I'm running on the track, and this way I can feel like I'm running on a track when I'm running or even walking on my treadmill. And since I wanted this video, I thought someone else might like it, too. Visualization can help keep us motivated!

Runner/Videographer/Editor: John Donovan Lambert

Technique: One lap was recorded and looped to extend the time.

Audio: I left the clip-clop of my feet and my gasping as the sound track, but you can mute the video and play your own running music at the same time if you want to.

Location: William Monroe high school (home of the Dragons), in Greene County, Virginia. You can see the tops of the Shenandoah section of the Blue Ridge Mountains in the background part of the time. (https://goo.gl/maps/Wm8TxUKhCGuhsDgZA)
