Your time over other distances
Predictions are estimates (Riegel formula). They assume you are equally well trained for the longer distance.
How does the pace meter work?
Pace is the time you take to cover one kilometre. From your distance and your time or pace, the meter works out the rest.
How is my time over another distance predicted?
With the Riegel formula: your time grows faster than your distance, because you run relatively slower over longer distances. It is an estimate, not a guarantee.
How reliable is a marathon prediction based on a 5 km?
Less reliable than one based on a half marathon. A marathon also needs endurance training, and the formula assumes you are equally well prepared for it. Treat it as an optimistic estimate.
Should I train by pace or by heart rate?
For easy endurance runs, heart rate or feel works better, because pace depends on heat, fatigue and terrain. Pace is useful for intervals and for your race goal.
How do I convert km/h to min/km?
Divide 60 by your speed. At 12 km/h that is 60 ÷ 12 = 5 minutes per kilometre, so a pace of 5:00 per km.
