Split Comparison Between 2k, 6k, 10k, Etc.

Alright, I'm just curious to see how everyone elses splits compare for different tests. <br /><br />For me, I can hold a 1:52.1 for a 10k, a 1:49.0 for 20 minutes(im guessing if I 6ked it'd be about that), and a 1:42.0 for a 2k.<br /><br />Now, compared to my team, my longer piece scores destroy theirs, but not the 2ks. However, we are only semi-conditioned juniors.<br /><br />Anyways, so my 6k split is 2k+7, and my 10k split is 2k+10.<br /><br />So, uh, I just want to see how this compares with the rest of you, and what type of workouts I should be focusing on with these scores.

>A very experience indoor rower once told me his rule of thumb: add 5 seconds/500 for every 2x the distance. E.g., a 1:50 pace for 5k would imply a 1:55 pace for 10k.<br /><br />>However, I've found that this does not work at shorter distances (where the differential is much greater) or at longer distances (where it is less). It also tends to be less everywhere for better conditioned athletes.<br /><br />>Empirically, what I have found (for moderately well conditioned, middle-aged rowers--I have no idea what it would be for really fit 18-25 year olds):<br />500 pace plus 10 sec > 1000 pace ( e.g., 1:30 pace 500 > 1:40 pace 1000 -- or a 3:20)<br />1000 pace plus 4 sec > 2000 pace<br />2k pace plus 5 sec > 5 k pace<br />5k pace plus 1 sec > 6K pace<br />6k pace plus 3 sec > 10k pace<br />10k pace plus 2 sec > 60 min pace<br />60 min pace plus 3 sec > HM pace<br /><br />> Obviously, to go from 2k to 6k, you can just add the relevant spreads:<br />2k pace plus 6 sec > 6k pace ( a little different from the 7.5 suggested by another poster).<br />Or, with less certainty, if you can do a 2k at 7:00 (1:45) you should be about a 38:00 (1:54 pace) for 10k.<br /><br />You can graph these paces (i.e., your own paces) against the race distances and get a nice curve that will tell you what distances you are strong in, etc.<br /><br />Hope this helps, good luck.
