How do you convert a 5000 meter race time into the equivalent 3 mile race time?
2 miles is 3200 meters. So, you need to deduct from your two mile time your average 200 meter time when you run two miles. For example, your 2 mile time is 12 minutes. When you run 2 miles on a track, you're running 16 X 200 meters. So, divide 12 (your 2 mile time) by 16 (the number of 200 meters you run). You get .75, or 3/4s of 60 seconds, which is 45 seconds. Now, deduct 45 seconds from 12 minutes, and you get 11:15 for 3000 meters.
