Introduction

If I want to run a 5KM run in 24 minutes, what average pace will I need to aim for? What time should I be achieveing when I reach the second KM?

I'm aiming to create Go script that will take in 2 inputs:

1. DISTANCE
2. TIME

Then will output the following:

1. an average pace to aim for
2. KM by KM times to achieve

Just to practice using Go and maybe help me get a running PB 👀

Working example

Below is an example of what is generated when the main sequence of code is executed:

How many kilometers would you like to go: 5

What time would you like to achieve: 24:00
-----------------------------------------

If you wish to run 5KM in 24:00
Then your average pace should be 4:48 /km

1 - 4:48
2 - 9:36
3 - 14:24
4 - 19:12
5 - 24:00

Running the main code for yourself

To be able to run the main sequence of code:

1. clone this repo
2. cd into the this repo
3. run the command: "brew install go"
4. run the command: "go run running_time_calculator.go"
5. The program should now ask you for inputs and give you metrics to follow to achieve your running dreams!

To run the tests for yourself

To be able to run the tests in this repo you will need to do the following:

1. clone this repo
2. cd into the this repo
3. run the command: "brew install go"
4. run the command: "go get github.com/stretchr/testify/assert" (this is equivilant to "pip install xyz")
   1. Make sure you .gitconfig file is up to date for this
5. finally to run the tests run: "go test -v"
6. Tests will now run.
