Joe Friel threshold-based running pace zones

Computes Joe Friel published running-pace zones from an already measured functional threshold pace,not an arbitrary race distance. Multipliers apply to time/km,not speed. Preserves published rounded gaps and overlap between zones4and5a;does not force exclusive classification. No workout frequency,duration or medical suitability prescription.
