Hey I remember a site that you could type in your time for a certain distance and it would spit out what you would be expected to run for other races by calculating like 4 or 5 different formulas. Does anyone have a link to something like that?

There are loads of them, but I use this:

This is what you're looking for:

The first one (Purdy) is thought to be the most accurate.
This is the closest any projected time calculater has come to my times across the range. 100m 13.3 to marathon 3:22:40.
Take into account that I am an old clydesdale.
Wow, the Purdy table works nicely for me as well from 800 m to 10 miles. Now I just need to run some big miles to make it truthful at the marathon distance!

Intereseting - Through the years i have running everything from 60m up to half marathon. And it turns out that my order (from best distance) is:
1500
800
400
3000
200
100
5000
10000
1/2-marathon
Note that the time span between my PP at 100m and the two longest distances are 17 years.
It is also interesting to look at the WRs. For example it seems that Michael Johnson and Gebreselassi/Bekele are at the same level.
Also note that Flo-Jo's 100m (10,49) is almost equal to Paula Radcliff's 10000 PB.
Thanks
This one is soo inaccurate, it says off of a 9:17 2mile i can run a5k in 14:26 and a mile in 4:13, i assume you i can not do either

*assure not assume
This Purdy kinda works. Now if they only had a calculator for altitude (more imprecision obviously), in which you could plug in the race altitude and get a conversion that would be pretty ultimate.
