how well does a 3K to mile predictor work using McMillan?
example. say I just raced a 3K. With the McMillan calc and/or VDOT charts Can I estimate w/ some accuracy what i could now race a MILE in? i ask because im more of a 5k and up guy with relatively weak speed, so im not sure how well this model holds. Thanks
WTF is up with you morons on here?
Run the bloody distance - if you go at the wrong pace race again. If you can't find a race find a track and run it on your own - it will not kill you !
Don't bother to reply I'm not interested - non stop bloody prediction questions - do you think East Africans bother with this prediction crap (if they do they don't do it blind like you are trying)
I think it's pretty good. I just raced a mile and 3k in back to back weeks. For the mile I ran 4:23.8, and the McMillan calculator predicts that I could run 8:44.1 for 3k. In the actual 3k race I ran 8:46.9.
So I wasn't quite as fast as the calculator predicted, however, I am more of a 800/1500 guy than 1500/3k, so it makes sense that I would fall off a little at the higher distance and not hit the projected time. Still a pretty good prediction.

cool. well i was wondering about the reverse 3K to mile. I havent raced a mile in 3 years. I recently raced a 3K. I'm wondering if i can run a mile in the time McMillan predicts

He stole it from Tinman. Should work well.
