Race Time Predictor is a health and wellness calculator that helps you calculate race time predictor values from your input data. The formula used is: Predicted Time = Known Time × (Predict Distance / Known Distance)^1.06 [Riegel Formula]. Enter values using the units shown next to each input field (e.g. kg, cm, years).

Formula

Predicted Time = Known Time × (Predict Distance / Known Distance)^1.06 [Riegel Formula]

Example Calculation

Inputs
  • Known Race Distance: 5 km
  • Known Race Time: 25 minutes
  • Predict for Distance: 10 km

Suppose you enter: Known Race Distance = 5, Known Race Time = 25, Predict for Distance = 10. The calculator applies the formula (Predicted Time = Known Time × (Predict Distance / Known Distance)^1.06 [Riegel Formula]) and shows all output values below. Change any input field to immediately see how the result changes.
