Calculation 200km finish-time for Ultra-Runners

Basic for the finish-time calculation is a min. 3 month training for the 200km distance and to meet an actual äquivalent-performance to another long distance.

To reach the 200km Finish-Line requires to run slowly from the beginning.

The Success or non-success belongs to the speed in the beginning.

For example: a runner who is qualified for the 200km in 30 hours, do not run faster than 6:30 hours in the first 50km. This feels very, very slow but is right to finish this long distance in time. If the runner keep the 6:30h and meets further the recommended split times, than he nearly has the guarantee the finish in 30 hour, or even faster.
