This page shows an automatic calculator able to predict the race time over a specific distance, based on the travel time of a recent race of known length.
Enter your details and find out the predicted race time.
LIMITS OF THE CALCULATOR
- The calculator assumes that the subject is adequately trained for the race distance of which he wants to estimate the travel time. For example, a beginner who runs 2000 meters in 8 minutes most likely without a specific preparation will not be able to run a marathon in 3 hours and 22 minutes. More generally, the result is less precise the greater the difference between the length of the race recently traveled and that of the race whose time is to be calculated.
- The estimate may be inaccurate for subjects physically predisposed in a rather significant way to resistance or speed. For example, an Olympic athlete who rides 1500 meters in 3 ': 30 "certainly won't run the 10, 000 in 26:08!
- The results are reliable for distances greater than or equal to 1500 meters. They also lose reliability beyond 4 hours.
HOW DOES IT WORK
- The test uses the Peat Riegel formula: T2 = T1 x [(D2 / D1) 1.06] where:
- T2 = predicted Race Time
- T1 = known race time
- D2 = Race distance for which the travel time is to be calculated
- D1 = Race distance known
