- Yes, there are various conversion charts available.
- From Galloway (GALLOWAY'S BOOK ON RUNNING):
-
- 5K 10K 20K Marathon
-
- 18:07 38:06 1:20:13 2:59:13
-
- From the May-June issue of PEAK RUNNING PERFORMANCE, a running
- newsletter:
-
- 18:24 38:30 1:26:12 2:59:54
- (1/2 marathon)
-
-
- I quoted these times because, I would guess, you want to know if
- you can reasonably achieve a 3:00 marathon time based upon your
- times in the 10K and 1/2 marathon.
-
- BTW, if memory serves me correctly, Noakes (THE LORE OF RUNNING)
- states that the single best predictor of marathon times is not
- VO2 Max or anything like that, but rather your 10 K time. I believe
- the Noakes book also has some charts for equivalent times at
- various distances.
