English term or phrase: geared toward completion
How do I choose a realistic race goal time and how much should I expect to improve?
To figure out your likely goal time, run a few miles at a pace that feels like a comfortable effort and extrapolate from there. If you’re following a program **geared toward completion**, expect to finish the race at a pace similar to your beginning training pace. If you have some experience, your race pace may be roughly 5-10% faster than your average daily runs.

Significa "se stai seguendo un programma che volge al termine"? Oppure?.. Non sono sicura del significato di "to gear toward" in questo contesto. Grazie.

Il programma "di avvicinamento" (come quello di una maratona) prevede l'allenamento progressivo con un impegno maggiore in km man mano che la gara si avvicina
