I know about the equation, just wondering whether the personal riegel value you get on the link below is solely linked to PBs, or if it looks at recent results. http://www.fetcheveryone.com/training-calculators-riegel.php I'm just wondering what happens if your PBs aren't representative at longer distances (or for that matter at short distances).
Mykey May 2013 3:04pm, 21 May 2013 1,689 posts	Quote Pin Mykey "This calculator looks at all your PBs" so I guess it all PBs rather than the recent results. I suggest you Fmail Fetch via feedback and he might be able to modify it so you can just look at the most recent results. I don't race enough across all the distances regularly to worry about it too much.

SPR May 2013 3:16pm, 21 May 2013 18,468 posts	Quote Pin SPR The calculator used to tell you what Riegel value it was using for calculations. Can this be added back? Also it seems to default back to the automatic value once you come out of it...
