What a 2:30 10-mile race predicts
Estimate| Distance | Estimated time |
|---|---|
| 5K | 43:27 |
| 10K | 1:30:35 |
| Half marathon | 3:19:52 |
| Marathon | 6:56:42 |
These are estimates from the Riegel formula, T2 = T1 × (D2 ÷ D1)^1.06. They assume you’ve trained for the other distance, so treat them as a guide, not a promise.
Over 1:30, keep it even and keep eating
Over an hour and a half, eat and drink on a schedule. Run/walk intervals from the start keep the pace even.
Check the cut-off time, and wear shoes you’ve already run long in.
