Remember how well you did?!!!
At the end of the race (assuming it wasn't a full marathon), did the thought ever cross your mind, "I wonder how long it would take me to complete a full marathon?" Well if it did, then I have a great online tool for you to use from the Runner's World website!
Click here for the Runner's World Training Calculator.
All you need is your recent running race or training run results. Then just enter them into the calculator, it will plug your data into some fancy formula and it spits out your estimated finishing times for specific running distances, like a full marathon. It's great!
Now please note that these are estimates of your potential finish times. There are other variables that could affect your performance on race day like how you fuel yourself and/or how hilly the course is.
For example, I plugged in my training run from today (5K) and the results are pretty accurate to what I expected. Here are the results from my data:
Try it out for yourself and let me know what you think about your estimated results. Have fun!
