    Pace Predictor

    Put in one recent erg result and you get predicted times and splits for every distance from 500m to a half marathon, plus how far you'd go in 30 and 60 minutes. Each one comes with a realistic range, because nobody sits exactly on a formula.

    How it works

    1. 1Enter a recent result: the distance and your time.
    2. 2I use Paul's Law, where your split slows by about 5 seconds every time the distance doubles.
    3. 3You get a time, a split and a range for each distance, so you know what's a fair target.

    Example

    A 7:00 2k (1:45.0 split)

    • 500m: 1:35
    • 5k: 18:36 at 1:51.6
    • 6k: 22:35 at 1:52.9
    • 30 minutes: about 7,836m at 1:54.9
