# Is there a progression of paces up to the race?

Yes, there is a progression of pace if you set a target time for your main objective, which is to improve your **MAS** or endurance. In this case, the pace starts from your current level and gradually moves towards the target pace.

If the target pace is very close to your current performance level, the specific paces will be derived from your target pace from the beginning of your preparation.

If you indicate that you want to become a ‘ **finisher**’ without specifying a target time, the pace will be based on your current performance level.
