Don't get overly optimistic with the Estimator. If you are using the Estimator to find out how fast to run a new distance, be conservative. For example, if all you have run are 5K's and you are about to run a 10K, don't put your Best 5K time in. Use an average 5K time to get an average 10K time. Also, this assumes you run all distances the same, most people generally tend towards shorter or longer distances, not both.
If you hear someone yell "Hey Geek", do you turn around? If so, keep reading. This page is using Javascript to do the calculations. While Javascript has been around for a while, some of the older browsers do not support this. The Estimator and Rank'er use a formula developed by Runner's World. Basically, it assumes a 5% reduction in Pace each time the distance doubles. For the math folks, try T2 = T1 * ((D2/D1)**1.07), where T = time and D = Distance for 1st and 2nd runs.
