Did this training calculator on runnersworld.com...trying to hit my first marathon at PBIM.. Looks doable ? Too aggressive a target for a virgin marathon ? We shall see lah... Drafting out a 10-week workout plan now..
Based on a marathon race at 04:45:00, your projected finish times for the following distances should be:
1500m 8:18
the mile 8:57
3000m(3k) 17:18
3200m(about 2 miles) 18:32
5000m(5k) 29:44
8000m(8k) 48:57
5 miles 49:15
10,000m(10k) 1:02:00
ten miles 1:42:40
a half marathon 2:16:42
a marathon 4:45:00
These times are projected equivalents and are not a guarantee of performance or final race distance times.
The Distance Finish Times calculator calculates a predicted time at a distance for you based on a time you provided for another distance. It uses the formula T2 = T1 x (D2/D1)1.06 where T1 is the given time, D1 is the given distance, D2 is the distance to predict a time for, and T2 is the calculated time for D2.
The formula was developed by Pete Riegel and published first in a slightly different form in Runner's World, August 1977, in an article in that issue entitled "Time Predicting." The formula was refined for other sports (swimming, bicycling, walking,) in an article "Athletic Records and Human Endurance," also written by Pete Riegel, which appeared in American Scientist, May-June 1981.
