If you have never ran a race, take the VO2Max interview to estimate your VO2Max.

Our Race Time Predictor estimates your performances of various race distances based on the calculated VO2Max. It is important, however, to understand that they are only estimates. It is impossible to estimate your best marathon time from your current mile time. There are many factors that come in to play, such as leg strength or muscle fiber types, to predict any accurate times on both ends of the spectrum. Accuracy is usually about 3-race-distances range (i.e., 1500m-5k-10k or 5k-10k-half marathon, etc.).
However it is a good tool to gauge your strengths and weaknesses. If your actual marathon time is way off the estimated time, it’ll tell you that your endurance is in question. Or if your 5k time is much slower than estimated 5k time from your half or full marathon performance, you’ll know you’ll need to work on your leg-speed.
