Race Time Predictor

Extrapolate race time using a supplied distance exponent. Provide Known race distance (km), Known race time (s), Target race distance (km) to compute results directly in your browser. T2=T1*(D2/D1)^k. Positive distances/time and user-selected exponent; one empirical extrapolation, not a universal training or race-performance prediction. Inputs and results use floating-point numbers; output shows up to 12 significant digits. Rounding can occur. Common search workflows supported include "race predictor", "race time predictor".
