OK, so you have decided to run a marathon. Or maybe a half marathon. Or maybe a 10k race. The big question is - what should your target time be? Say you have just done an 8-mile training run in 56 minutes and 45 seconds. Are you are on-track for a 3 hour 30 minute marathon? Enter your training run distance and time, click on the big button and voila! the run calculator says yes, but only just: that translates into a marathon time of 3 hours, 29 minutes and 22 seconds. Note that the Marathon Run Calculator doesn't just extrapolate speeds - it adjusts for fatigue in quite a complicated way, based on chunks of data gleaned from various running magazines.
If you are preparing for a half-marathon, or a 10k or ten-mile race, just substitute the correct distance. Also, check out my Training Run Calculator, which helps you calculate your marathon or other race targets based on your training runs.
Pretty cool, huh? Don't tell me I don't share the good sh*t with you. The Marathon Run Calculator is my first real javascript, and I'm donkey-proud of it! |
