Do you want to keep live track of the distance you will be able to reach before the catcher car overtakes you in the race?

This datafield will continously estimate your goal distance where the car will overtake you based on the distance you have already completed and projecting the finish line by using the average running velocity for the past 5 minutes.

There is also a sibling datafield that will present remaining time instead of finish distance estimation if you prefer or want both:

Details

* Time for running and catcher car calculation will start counting from Starting the activity and will continue even if you pause
* "-" is shown before initial speed / time has been aquired
* After the catch distance has been crossed the datafield will switch to show elapsed distance instead
* The average speed used for estimation is recalculated every 5th second using a circular buffer with samples of distance and elapsed time, e.g. a moving window.
* Before the 5 minute buffer has filled up it will use the data collected so far and will start giving you estimations as soon as you start moving.
* It adapts for statue or metric units (km or miles) based on the settings of the clock.
