Jeff Galloway complied performances from the hundreds of runners he has worked with over the last 30 years and established a prediction formula based upon a one mile time trial for the 5K, 10k, Half and Full marathon distances.

Predictions are most accurate if:
*You are doing the training needed for their distance and time goal
*The temperature on race day is 60F or cooler*You have paced correctly and taken the necessary walk breaks
*You update your one-mile trial roughly every 2 weeks

How to do the one-mile time trial:
1) Warm up with a slow one-mile run
2) Do a few acceleration-gliders
3) Pace yourself as even as possible on each quarter mile
4) Run as hard as you can for one mile, without becoming physically ill.
5) Keep walking after the time trial for 5 minutes, then jog a slow 1-6 miles, as needed for to maintain that day’s mileage.

Now predict your race performance:
1) Take your last 4 one mile time trials
2) Eliminate the slowest
3) Average the other three
4) Use the following prediction formula to adjust your one mile time, based on your race distance
Add 33 seconds for your pace for a 5K
Multiply by 1.15 for 10K pace
Multiply by 1.2 for half marathon pace
Multiply by 1.3 for marathon pace
5) You can use your prediction to choose your finish goal. Click here to pick your program.

Don’t forget to adjust for heat and humidity by slowing down by 30 seconds per mile for every 5 degree temperature increase above 60F.
