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 (42195m finish 02:57:55)

Finish 02:57:55 (10675.0 sec) to split 02:06.5 /500m to 173W to 895 cal/hr

42195m Finish	500m Split	Power (Watts)	Calories (per hour)
3:30:00.0	02:29.3	105W	661
3:05:00.0	02:11.5	154W	829
2:50:00.0	02:00.9	198W	980
2:35:00.0	01:50.2	262W	1200
