5000m Runner Prediction Spreadsheet

This simple tool demonstrates some of the brilliance of what can be achieved in Excel. A very simple spreadsheet, elegantly designed to give coaches a way to monitor their athletes performance based on split times.

Suppose your athlete, friend, or relative is running the 5000m race (this can be adapted by us to work for other races also), and you want to keep a tab of the sort of pace they are running. With this simple spreadsheet which can be on your laptop by the trackside you can enter their 1st lap to get an instant prediction of what they are likely to do for the whole race.
