150m to 600m time Predictions

Based on a time for one of the following distances - 150m, 200m, 300m, 400m, 500m or 600m - it is possible to predict a time (not a guaranteed time) for the other distances. The algorithms used in this prediction process are based on Dick (1987) [1].

Predictions based on a given distance and time

Select the distance, enter the athlete's time for that distance and then select the calculate button to obtain predicted times for the other distances.

Distance -		Time - seconds

150 metres	seconds	400 metres	seconds
200 metres	seconds	500 metres	seconds
300 metres	seconds	600 metres	seconds

If "Error" is displayed then the entered time for the selected distance is outside the range of the algorithms used in the prediction process. The algorithms are based on an athlete running the 400 metres in 44 to 66 seconds.
