Just found this site - Sub6 (2) would be very keen on this, if he hasn't already found it! http://www.vm.ibm.com/devpages/GREER/RUNCALC.HTML What you do is put in at least two runs that you've timed and measured, and whammo, up comes a predicted time for the run you want to predict! There is lots of maths in behind the prediction, so of course no allowance for what the day's like or how you might feel on the actual race. But here goes for the Huntly Half Marathon - my predicted time is 2:08:18.0
As much as I'd love to go faster, I think this is reasonably optimistic. But you never know!

ahhhhh crap - I just put my numbers into that thingymejiggy and it said I was gonna do 2:32:00 - bloody better NOT be that slow, but looking likely
*sigh*
oh well, looks like I might be going on a long scenic tour of Huntly!
*sigh*
You're being too honest Kathy!!
You've probably put that 19 km run on it - go for the runs less than 15 km, otherwise it'll take more emphasis on the longer run, which is probably slower than your race pace. (Well I hope it is for me!)
I used these type of sites to 'predict' my marathon time and it was really close. I don't have a 'race' time to put in but with some of the training times it comes up with just Sub2 so I'm hoping it gets it right this time :)
