8	22:32
9	25:21
10	28:10

Race Predictions

Based on your 10km time of 28:10 we can use the equation T₂ = T₁ x (D₂/D₁)^1.06 to predict your finish times for longer distances.

• 5km – 13:31
• 10km – 28:10
• Half Marathon – 1:02:09
• Marathon – 2:09:34

This prediction formula will be more accurate for distances close to 10km, so the 5km prediction time of 13:31 will be more attainable and relevant than a full marathon of 2:09:34.

The equation  T₂ = T₁ x (D₂/D₁)^1.06 was published by Peter Riegel in 1977  where T₁ is your 10km time and D₁ is the 10km distance, and T₂ and D₂ are your predicted time and distance.

How do you compare?

The average time to run a 10km will vary depending on factors such as age, gender, experience, the course terrain, etc but RunRepeat.com have conducted extensive research to grade runner finish times.

Running 10km in 28 minutes and 10 seconds would put you in the 1st percentile for Men and the 1st percentile for Women.

• Top 1% of male runners
• Top 1% of female runners

Just remember that these don’t take into account non-runners, they’re averages from runners in races, and by putting on your shoes and heading out you are already well ahead of the majority of the population.

These statistics are based on over 35,000,000 results collected in the last 20 years from over 28,000 races.
