Race Time Predictor

Race Time Predictor lets you the Riegel estimate scales time by the distance ratio raised to 1.06. Enter your own values or load the worked example.

Method and calculation

The Riegel estimate scales time by the distance ratio raised to 1.06.

Inputs and settings

Race Time Predictor accepts Completed distance (km) (minimum 0.000001); Completed time (minutes) (minimum 0.000001); Target distance (km) (minimum 0.000001).

Worked example

Race Time Predictor example — Completed distance (km): 5; Completed time (minutes): 25; Target distance (km): 10. Computed output: { "estimatedMinutes": 52.12328804205607 }

Output and limitations

Race Time Predictor: An endurance estimate using exponent 1.06, not a guaranteed race performance.
