Race time predictor

Riegel and Cameron: your result projected onto other distances

Formula and method

Riegel: T₂ = T₁ × (D₂ ÷ D₁)^1.06. Cameron applies a correction function and holds up better over long distances — the main column shows the average of the two. VDOT follows Daniels’ method via oxygen cost and the fraction of VO₂max sustainable for a given duration.
