How a 30K predicts your Marathon

The prediction uses Riegel's formula, which scales your time by the ratio of the two distances raised to the power 1.06. It assumes you have trained for the longer effort. Going from a shorter race to a longer one, the prediction is only as good as your endurance base, so treat it as a target to train toward rather than a promise.
