Frequently asked questions
Symbols and assumptions
- Inputs
- The values entered in the fields above
- • Riegel extrapolation from half to full marathon: predicted full time=half-marathon time×(full distance/half distance)^b=half time×2^b for exact 2:1 distances.

- • b is an explicit empirical fatigue exponent, not a guaranteed personal value. Similar conditions, current endurance preparation and genuine race performance matter. Require positive time and distances; this is a prediction with error, not a promised finish time.
Important limitation
This is an educational estimate based only on the values and formula shown. Verify current rates, rules, units, and professional standards before relying on the result. It is not personalized financial or investment advice.
