=Predicted Race Times=
The following tables give predictions of race performance at various distances. The prediction uses [[VO2max|V̇O<sub>2</sub>max]] calculations up to marathon distance, then David F. Cameron's Model for longer distances. However, predicting race performance for [[A brief guide to ultramarathon distances| ultramarathon distances]] does not have much value as factors other than aerobic fitness are significant. Even small [[Fixing problems in Ultramarathons| issues in ultramarathons]] can have a dramatic impact on your finish time.

=Jack Daniel's Training Paces=
These training paces are used in [[Jack Daniels Running Formula]]. Note that Jack Daniels does not give a pace for 800 meter Aerobic Intervals, so these are calculated from interpolating from other times.
The table below uses a similar approach, but uses a percentage of the target pace rather than an absolute offset.

==Predicted Race Paces from VDOT with Heat Index Adjustment==
The predictions for 40f are the baseline values, with adjustments for higher temperatures. The [[Impact of Heat on Marathon Performance]] is based on research for faster marathon runners. These predictions are most appropriate for someone running a three hour marathon. In addition, these figures are a statistical average, so individual performance can be significantly different.
