Equivalent Time Sheet
This sheet will allow you to enter a list of distances and times for
runners on your team and convert their times to a common "Target
Distance." The "Distance" in the second column and the
"Target Distance" at the top can be entered in either miles or
meters. Any distance entered that's less than 50 is assumed to be in miles.
Those that are 50 or over will assumed to be in meters. In the default (when
you reset) Bob's distance is 3 miles while Ted's is 4228 (3 miles in meters).
They both convert to 18:10 for 3.107 miles (or 5000 meters). Try putting 3.107 for the Target Distance. Like most other equivalent performance calculators,
the Rigel Equation is used for conversions. The Rigel Equation takes the time
from a race and multipies it by the ratio of the original distance to the new
distance raised to the power of 1.06.
T2=T1*(D2/D1)^1.06.
The closer the two distances, the more accurate the conversion. In the
example to the left, Carol's conversion of
3 miles to 5000 meters will be
more accurate than Alice's conversion of a mile to 5000 meters. Being able to enter any distance is useful
if you have a course that you think runs faster or slower than the stated
distance. Just put in your best guess
for how the course runs and it'll convert to the target distance.
