About this calculator

What is the Marathon Calculator – marathon and half marathon?

The Marathon Calculator predicts race time based on your current training pace or a shorter race result. The calculator uses the Riegel formula, which takes fatigue into account over long distances.

The calculator is completely free, works directly in your browser, and does not store personal information. All calculators on this site are up to date with 2026 information.

Calculation Principle

Predicted time B = Time A × (Distance B / Distance A)^1.06

Enter your measurements into the calculator fields and press the calculate button – the result will be displayed immediately. You can try different values to compare various scenarios.

Practical Example

10 km time 48 min → half marathon prediction = 48 × (21.1/10)^1.06 ≈ 106 min = 1:46:00.

The result is an estimate – for accurate clinical measurements, consult a healthcare professional.

Purpose of the Calculator

The calculator is suitable for self-monitoring health, planning training, and general health literacy. Tracking values over time provides valuable information about changes in the body.

Remember that a single measurement result does not tell the whole story – what matters more is the direction and trend over multiple measurement periods.

Practical Tips

  • Use the Riegel formula for a realistic prediction, not a desired time.
  • A long run (17.4–19.9 mi) is the most important training for marathon preparation.
  • Rest for 2–3 weeks before the race (tapering period).
