Race Predictions
Based on your 10km time of 1:04:58 we can use the equation T2 = T1 x (D2/D1)1.06 to predict your finish times for longer distances.
- 5km – 31:10
- 10km – 1:04:58
- Half Marathon – 2:23:21
- Marathon – 4:58:52
This prediction formula will be more accurate for distances close to 10km, so the 5km prediction time of 31:10 will be more attainable and relevant than a full marathon of 4:58:52.
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 1 hour, 4 minutes and 58 seconds would put you in the 80th percentile for Men and the 50th percentile for Women.
- Top 80% of male runners
- Top 50% 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.
