It thinks your 45 is a 400m split not a 300m split. The real optimization is 3:55.86.

Thanks, I couldn't figure out why it wasn't working

Your website can't optimise 800m races. Trackbot seems to be doing it. How is that possible?

My website can optimize 800m races. It just is not advertised. As long as you put in an even number of splits (and of equal meters), it will work. Events with special formats (like the 1500 and 5000), you need to tell it what format you are using.

Thanks very much. Which event would I choose from the drop down list?

Worked it out

I guess the real issue is that a perfectly even 800m isn't optimal at all.

If you ran an 800m in 55, 55, then that is not optimal, in my opinion (backed by what the elites do), but the calculator will tell you it is.

If the calculator isn't advertising the 800m as an option, is it really telling you that (or ANYTHING about the 800m)? :)

That is incorrect. If you enter your splits here (link at end of this post), you have to tell it whether your 300m split is first or last. Assuming, 51 is the 300m opening split and not the 400m opening split (but hey maybe you are actually that fast), your time of 4:11 is equal to a 4:10.02 with better pacing.

This is news to me that my tool is being integrated into his Letsrun bot. To the person who made Trackbot, can I at least get a "hello" or some kind of notice :p? How long has this been going on?

Hello! I made trackbot, mostly just for myself as a way to get info (I query trackbot pretty much every day locally from my computer). It's been around since like August this year, but the optimizer is only a month or two old. Always pleasantly surprised when I see threads like this though haha. I always.credit the sources trackbot uses on the website: habs.sdf.org/trackbot/ and in the source code: habs.sdf.org/trackbot/source.cgi

As for the 1500m and 5K modes, yes, I need to fix the bot to account for those. I'll probably get on that soon, but I hope to improve trackbot in other ways too. And if anyone is quicker than me feel free to send me patches to the source and I'll apply them!

I still read LRC often enough that if you shout my name on the boards I'll probably find it, but in the future email is probably the most surefire way to get in touch with me (see trackbot website for it). Thanks for making timescalculator!
