Knowing running speed, particularly by means of easy-to-apply tests andlow cost, is important for the definition of the race strategy and the mostappropriate training throughout the preparation period. The aim was to comparethe agreement and reproducibility of critical velocity (CV), anaerobic threshold(AT), and the simulated time trial on the track for the determination of therunning speed in a 10-km race in amateur runners. A cross-sectional study wasconducted with 34 runners of both genders aged 42.4±11.0 years. We measuredtheir CV, assessed their body composition and AT. Participants performed also asimulated time trial on a 10-km running track and an official 10-km race. Thedelta of the comparisons and the standard error of estimate between the runningvelocities determined by the CV, AT, and the simulated time trial on the trackranged from 0.55 to -0.79 km/h and 0.14 to 0.59 km/h, respectively.Furthermore, CV and AT were compared to the 10-km running speed. Good agreementand reproducibility were observed between the velocities determined by the CV,AT, and the simulated time trial on the track with the real-time of a 10-kmofficial race.
