The McMillan Running Calculator: Ever wonder what pace you should be running at in workouts? How about when you run a 5K and want to know what you could run for 10K? Well, wonder no more. Since the mid-1990s, Greg McMillan has been working on a method which estimates your equivalent race performances using a current race time at any distance as well as giving the appropriate pace range for all the different types of workouts that you perform. To use the calculator, simply choose a recent race distance, making sure to choose a distance for a performance that accurately reflects your current fitness level. In other words, put in a good race, not a bad one. Next, enter your time in hours, minutes and seconds. Hit Calculate, and voila! your equivalent performances for every race distance from the 100m to the marathon as well as your optimal training paces for all the key workouts.
