How race prediction works

These calculators use Riegel’s race-equivalency formula, which projects a time at one distance from a known result at another: T₂ = T₁ × (D₂ / D₁)^1.06. It is the same model behind most published equivalency tables.

Riegel has a well-known bias: it assumes you are trained for the target distance. A fast 10K run off 35 km a week does not become the marathon the formula predicts, because a marathon exposes endurance the 10K never tested. That is why every page here returns a range instead of a single number — and why it asks for your longest run.
