30m to 250m time Predictions

Based on time for one of the following distances - 30m to 100m, 120m, 150m, 200m or 250m - it is possible to predict a time (not a guaranteed time) for the other distances. The algorithms used in this prediction process are based on Dick (1987)^[1].

Predictions based on a given distance and time

Select the distance, enter the athlete's time for that distance and then select the calculate button to obtain predicted times for the other distances.

Distance -		Time - seconds

30 metres seconds		90 metres seconds
40 metres seconds		100 metres seconds
50 metres seconds		120 metres seconds
60 metres seconds		150 metres seconds
70 metres seconds		200 metres seconds
80 metres seconds		250 metres seconds

Calculations are based on Dick (1987)^[1] table of controls for 100/200m/400m athletes.

The 100m and 200m are electronic timings. The other times are hand timings. To get a predicted electronic time, you can add 0.25 - 0.30 seconds onto hand timings.

If "Error" is displayed, then the entered time for the selected distance is outside the range of the algorithms used in the prediction process. The algorithms are based on an athlete running 100 metres in 10 to 15 seconds.
