And for those that would argue with his method; I believe he is the only man to with the gold in the 5K, 10K and Marathon (all in 1952!!!).<br /><br />So who are ...

PDuck<br /><br />Your in luck. Standard running predictions work like this:<br /><br /><br />T2 = T1 x (D2/D1)^1.0707<br /><br />So if you race 500M and get a time of 01:30 the formula predicts a 2,000 M result of (01:30 X (2000/500)^1.0707) = 06:37<br /><br />I have been playing with the exponent v...

FAQ

Standard running race prediction works like this:<br /><br />T2 = T1 * (D2/D1)^1.0707<br /><br />T2 = 7:35 (1500/2000)^1.0707 = 05:34 or 01:51/500M pace.<br /><br />Good luck. Please let me know how accurate the prediction turns out.<br /><br />Bert <br /><br />
