Converting H.S. 3000 time to 3200? how many seconds?

Take the 3k time, multiply by 1.07 to get 3200, 1.08 to get 2 mile. That's just a guess.

thanks---I appreciate the help.

My theory regarding converting a 3200 time to a 3000 time was to add 40 seconds. My theory is to add or subtract your slowest lap.

Here are some samples:

3000 3200 3218.688(2mile)

11:33.0 12:22.8 12:27.6

+49.8 +54.6

10:36.6 11:23.1 11:27.4

9:49.6 10:32.4 10:36.6

9:09.0 9:49.2 9:53.0

8:34.2 9:12.0 9:15.5

+37.8 +40.7

Quite a range depending on how fast or slow the runner is. This shows pretty good range that would apply to girls and boys

In PA, indoors they often use +36 seconds to convert 3k to 3200m times. That's a good quick estimate, but percentages are much more accurate.

And that 1.08 that was brought up is the converstion from 1500m to a mile or 1600m, i forget which one. Either way, yeah 1.08 and .92 are used to interchangeably convert 1500's and either miles or 1600's, i can't remember because the NFHS sucks.

Thanks for your thoughts---it was interesting yesterday at an invitational one of the coaches asked outloud, "Anybody know the correct conversion from 3000 to 3200 and 2 mile? He must have gotten 20 different responses! I'm afraid we weren't much help. Surely there is a definitive answer somewhere.

I agree with 35-40+ seconds and it would depend on what pace a person is running the 3k....

1.08 is "official" for 1500 to mile and 3k to 2M. I've never seen one for 3000-3200 or 1500-1600 ... BUT mile to 1600 or 2M to 3200 is x .9942 (or x 1.0058 the other way). So if you don't mind doing two equations, you can do it.
