Converting 6 mile times to 10,000 meters

Don't know of one, but I'd use 1.037 myself.

10k is exactly 6 miles.

Pi is exactly 3.

No, Pi=4. See point #2.

High school algebra might help with this question.

Yes. Because high school algebra teaches equations that take into account fatigue. Because a 4-minute 1600 converts exactly to a 3:45 1500.

To the original poster, here's a calculator for dealing with that. Use the purdy (best) as that seems the most reliable.

I may be wrong but if you take 6 minutes for a 6 miler for example would be 36 minutes and 6/10ths of a mile is 36 seconds then you would add 36 secs twice for a total of 37:12 for a 10k right? Any mathmaticians here? Or just get a calculator and get your per mile average for 6 miles and multiply by 6.2.

PMAC,

10 kilometers = 6.21 miles,

If you run 6 miles in x time,

then you would run 6.21 miles

at a 1.035x pace

Just amusing myself here 6/pmx6.2

Ooops T/6x6.21

Six miles and 10k are to me far enough apart that why bother conversions? How about when we go further out: 15k vs. 10 miles, 10 miles vs. Half Marathon, HM vs. 20k. Even a very good runner is running over a minute past the 6M marker. That is a significant amount extra. Why not keep separate records in the books and for current things just take a round about guess what someone could run like the other comparisons.

A 10K is actually 6.214 miles if you want to get persnickety about things.

or 6 miles is 9.654k

every meter counts, i hate it when courses are inaccurately measured
