InterpretationThis is an estimated range
The Riegel model assumes sufficient endurance training. A ±5% interval is shown; weather, route, fuelling and pacing can cause larger differences.
Not a diagnosisFor general health education and estimation only. It does not diagnose a condition and is not treatment, medication, diet or training advice.
01Formula used
T₂ = T₁ × (D₂ / D₁)^1.06Suitable population
Healthy runners with recent performance over at least 5 km and an established endurance base.
02When not to use it
Not reliable for new runners, injury recovery, very short tests or runners without long-distance preparation.
Data error and uncertainty
Input accuracy, measurement technique, rounding and individual variation all affect the result. Internal precision is retained and only displayed values are rounded.
03When to seek help
Stop and seek care for chest pain, collapse, confusion or other danger signs during training or racing.
