What a 1:02 10K predicts

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 an hour, keep it even and finish strong

A 10K over an hour is a long race in its own right. Run/walk intervals keep the pace even and leave something for the finish.

Build time on your feet with regular runs, including one longer run each week.

Wear the shoes you train in, and start further back so the crowd doesn’t pull you out too fast.

Pace questions runners ask

What pace do I need for a 1:02 10K?

What treadmill speed is 1:02 10K pace?
Set the treadmill to 9.7 km/h or 6.0 mph to run 6:12/km (9:59/mi).
Where should I be at halfway in a 1:02 10K?
With even pacing you pass halfway in 31:00; with a negative split, a little later.
What does a 1:02 10K predict for other distances?
The Riegel formula estimates 29:44 for the 5K, 1:42:40 for the 10-mile race, 2:16:48 for the half marathon, 4:45:13 for the marathon, assuming you’ve trained for each distance.
