## 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 

1. TIME

Then will output the following: 

1. an average pace to aim for

1. 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

1. cd into the this repo

1. run the command: "brew install go"

1. run the command: "go run running_time_calculator.go"

1. 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

1. cd into the this repo

1. run the command: "brew install go"

1. 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

1. finally to run the tests run: "go test -v"

1. Tests will now run.
