Appendix: Conversion and Planning Notes

The tabs use one source finish-time table, then derive split, watts, and calories with transparent formulas for consistent logging comparisons.

Conversion Formulas

Split(500m) = Finish Time x (500 / Distance)

Power (W) = 2.80 / (splitSeconds / 500)^3

Calories/hour = 300 + (4 x Watts / 1.1639)

Example (21097m finish 01:26:14)

Finish 01:26:14 (5174.0 sec) to split 02:02.6 /500m to 190W to 953 cal/hr

21097m Finish	500m Split	Power (Watts)	Calories (per hour)
1:30:00.0	02:08.0	167W	874
1:22:00.0	01:56.6	221W	1060
1:16:00.0	01:48.1	277W	1252
1:10:00.0	01:39.5	355W	1520
