Predict Running Race Finish Occasions

Great vid as always with an enjoyable topic. I think these are good to use as a guide but I wouldn’t get too hung up on it being close, I think you will be considerably quicker than 3:10 ���� I’ve used them for the past 3 marathons I have done and I’ve been faster than the predictors on each occasion so don’t focus too much on it. I am curious though, when you use the Tanda predictor, what was your ‘age group’ prediction? As my last marathon was much closer to that time as opposed to their prediction.

I’m sure you’ll hit your time on the Tunnel course. To be safe, you should run 1-2 minutes under BQ time…even though they just lowered the BQ threshold this year.

Dude the Mike Blowers call is legendary. It is absolutely ludicrous. It makes zero sense how the actual hell he did that

Not going to lie I thought you were lying when you said you were turning 40 later this year, I thought you were in your early 20’s not even kidding.

Wish old rachel maddow would die in a painful way, she is such a cringy bitch. Btw thought she would commit suicide after Trump won

There have been studies done that show the sub-conscious mind responds to randomly distributed images on a screen some grotesque and fear producing, some pleasant and endearing a fraction of a second BEFORE THEY EVEN APPEAR. That is, horrific images are registered before they actually are even seen.

We are in the same age group. I am already 40 and I am also trying to qualify. Remember that you need to finish more like 3:07 or less to get picked. Anything above 3:07 (maybe 3:08) will not get you picked. Good luck!!

Skip Caray Calling that double play. Loved listening to him call the braves games all those year;)

I would like to see all the missed home run calls where they say someone is going to hit a home run and they don’t.

A couple of these were impressive like the one at 2:48 and the Mike Blowers one but the rest weren’t too impressive. All of these homeruns were on hitter counts 2-0,1-0,3-0. On hitter counts the pitcher is almost forced, there are rare exceptions, to throw a fastball in a location that’s favorable to the batter to get a strike and start working towards a pitcher count 2-2, 1-2,so that they can throw their curvballs, sliders, etc ( pitches that are less accurate but harder to hit). If a coach or commentator has seen a batters performance the last couple of games and the batter is hitting deep foul balls or deep fly balls to the warning track and know the location tendencies of the pitcher/catcher when their behind in a count, and how to the tight umps strike zonehas been, calling a homerun is not some genius or mystic thing at all it happens in dugouts all the time. The double play call was the least impressive out of all the highlights. The pitcher/catcher and the announcer knew that the batter was stepping towards the third base side on every pitch because of this the batter is not able to get proper hip rotation on pitches that are not inside causing him to top the ball if a 2 seam fastball was thrown down the middle. Baseball is a thinking mans game to an extent.

Hanger into the bull pin was the best call. He knew the pitcher’s count.

Babe Ruth would step up to the plate and point with his bat. Which has to suck for the poor pitcher.

“I SEE THE LIGHT!” LMAO…I would’ve lost my shit too if that happened like Blowers predicted. That’s nuts. Gotta love baseball.

Some baseball players will hit a HR tonight and tomorrow and maybe even all week.

I’m guessing that guy was notorious for hitting into double plays. That was straight savage though.

That first one: I had tweeted to Mark Grace and after he called that homerun I called him “Graciedomus”. They mentioned me on the broadcast.

You can add Jim Deshaies to this club after saying Ian Happ had a shot to hit one out on opening day…

RIP Dave Niehaus.

Baseball has always been about radio for me. He was the voice of my childhood, the voice of my young adulthood… And then he was gone.

Fly, fly away, my friend… You’ve earned it.

Hey Kofuzi. Just wondering. You use some really great music for the slow-mo intros sometimes. Where do you get your tracks? Is there a way to link to them? Thanks. I checked the descriptions, but I only found the end card music.

I ran my first marathon earlier this month. For fun, I entered my details into 538’s calculator and the estimate it spit out was within 29 seconds of my actual time ��

Ay bro use Jack Daniels Vdot calculator or McMillan. Vdot uses a recent race performance to predict your racing ability in longer or shorter races, assuming you’ve trained specifically for all these races (like you’ve trained specifically for the marathon so your 8km could predict your marathon) entering your 8km into vdot you get 3:06. McMillan’s actually assumes that you have trained specifically for the race of which PR you enter into the calculator, so it will be even a little less optimistic with your marathon time based on an 8km. However, even on this calculator, your 8km of 32 min predicts a time of 3:09. Basically I think you’re being a little hard on yourself, you’re well capable of your goal! Like you said you’ve done the training so just go execute ☺

For me the Five Thirty Eight model was within 20 seconds of my actual finish time while most others were about 5 minutes off. I tend to run faster relative to others at the lower distance races (5 and 10 Ks) vs higher. The accuracy of the model probably depends on the individual. It would be interesting to see which model predicted your past marathons most accurately based on other races around the time of the marathon. That would probably be your best bet! Best of luck to you!

I use race predictors to help set goals and marathon pacing. If it said I could do it and the weather isn’t bad then I have been about to achieve the predicted goal. For your goal, if you want to go to boston, I would suggest trying to run a 3:09 and not squeak it out. Even with the time changes you may still have to beat the posted time. Also another factor to take into account is the course. http://findmymarathon.com/marathon-time-conversion.php. I am excited to see how you do and which shoe you pick to run in. I have a partly soft surface marathon in march and I have not fully decided on if I will wear the Vapor flys or not.

8:56 what a win from Argentina. taking the win in the last second.

It’ll be close but at least the elevation change for the race is in your favour.

Michael, I thought we should less off about 3 min off the BQ time due the queue of runners aiming for qualification. That’s what I have been gunning for.

0:52, 4:48– 4:51. that laugh by Harold Reynolds though, his laughter sounds like a dog or dolphin.

Just remember if you can see yourself doing it and not letting doubt in then to me that’s the best algorithm!You can do it!

Tanda was about bang on for me. I also tried the Marco Negative split pacing calculator too, which annoyingly costs a couple of $ to use. Best of luck!!

I’ve used a few race predictors before just for fun. As others have mentioned it doesn’t take into account conditions or course, but a good rough guide. I’m sure you’ll achieve the BQ!

I almost sensed Rocky from the opening beat of this one! You are gonna rock this!!!!

putting that little boy Madcow in this just ruined it for 99% of people on earth

Hi, What do you wear, sneakers or running shoes when you are not running?

Not trying to throw you off your plan but you’re going to need a buffer for that 3:10.00 time, the last year’s cut of time buffer was 4:52 (ekk!!).

I’m training for a marathon too and think predicting a race time should take into account elevation (particularly with both of our marathons being downhill). I couldn’t find a mainstream predictor which factored in elevation profile of the race and sample run though so I had to write my own.

these are good but my favorite so far is when outfielders show off there arms and make diving cathes or infielders make a play deep in the whole or turn 2 like they could do it in there sleep

Thank you! Just in time I’m running a marathon in one month and planning on 3:10 too! it seems unrealistic but I’m going for it. my PR for the half is 1:34:04.
The Five Thirty Eight predictor gave a time of 3:17:05 close to your Chicago marathon!

That’s not a prediction. He didn’t say ” he’s going to hit a homerun here” he said “it looks like he’s going to hit a home run everytime he comes to the plate”.

How did your team get on? What type of Marble Race should I do?

Hola �� que me la lleve y República que me la pase por correo

Argentina Was way behind. AT the 6 minute mark you can just see how far back they were!

Looks like the final match wiil be between Brazil and Argentina….EPIC!!!

Hello marks marble racing I love your country races and that video says that it is from 2018 wow
i have aleady seen everting and i imagine that angertina won and i gave her a like because
I loved your video and i love you for this video!!!!!!!

Have you considered putting in your stats for pre Chicago marathon to see how close the predictor gives for the marathon? Interesting video though. Keep up the good work

España no vale para nada, iba primero en el tramo final y se quedó atascado en un coso de esos que te echaban para arriba -_-

no voy a ver los comentarios, asi que escojo mi pais panama y luego hago un edit para ver quien gano

edit: bueno panama hubiese terminado en tercer lugar si arabia saudi y japon no lograran tomar el camino recto

gano argentina!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
