Time Comparisons for long distance racing
The following chart enables you to predict an expected time for one distance based on your best recent time for another distance:

09.45 16.40 34.30 77.00 2:41.30

16.00 27.05 55.20 2:02.50 4:17.10
Assumptions:
You have trained for the longer distance being compared
You set off at an even pace when you race
When your time in one column improves, your other times will correspondingly improve.
But of course there will be individual differences which mean that your current potential may not be straight across one row of the table.
If that is you, see if the step between columns for your times is consistent. If not, you can identify where your current potential pbs are.
