How good a predictor is my 15k PR? I ran 1:08 flat at Gate in the middle of my marathon training program, and I'm planning to run my third marathon on May 6 in New Jersey. What can I expect? |
| 15k X 3 = marathon |

multiple 15k time by 3 = marathon Using my Boilermaker time (hot, hilly) for each of the past 3 years, multiply by 3 time as been within 1 minute all 3 years. Hold fairly true for elites too (42' X 3 = 2:06) |

_____________________________ This is what I was going to say, but a little less detailed. I was going to say that since a marathon is about 42.25 k's. Then accounting for fatigue, you could come pretty close to a predicted time of a complete marathon from a 15k by multiplying by 3. You must consider you would go through that first 15k in a marathon , and so forth. |
