Frequently Asked Questions
How accurate is this prediction?
This uses the Riegel formula, a well-known race prediction model. It's a good estimate but actual results depend on training, pacing, weather, and course terrain.
What race distance gives the best prediction?
Races between 10K and half marathon distance tend to give the most reliable marathon predictions, since they're long enough to reflect endurance.
Should I train differently based on this result?
Use this as a benchmark for goal-setting, but adjust your training plan based on your actual marathon-specific long runs and race strategy.
