Orangetheory Catch Me If You Can Calculator Formula:

Required Distance (t) ≤ (Speed × t / 60)

Where t is the checkpoint minute. You must have covered the cumulative distance listed for that specific minute to stay in the game.

Variables:

  • Class Format: 2G (standard 60m class with 2 groups) or 3G (3 groups). 2G is longer and harder to survive.
  • User Type: Power Walkers have a 50% distance requirement compared to Runners/Joggers.
  • Average Speed: Your constant speed throughout the challenge in Miles Per Hour (MPH).

What is Orangetheory Catch Me If You Can Calculator?

The “Catch Me If You Can” (CMIYC) challenge is a signature Orangetheory treadmill workout designed to test your endurance and pacing strategy. Every few minutes, a “checkpoint” occurs. If you haven’t reached the required distance for that minute, you are “caught” and must move to the rowing machine.

Our calculator helps you determine if your intended pace is sufficient to reach the final minute (Minute 20 for 2G, Minute 12 for 3G). It allows you to simulate different speeds to find the “Minimum Effective Dose” speed to avoid getting caught early.

How to Calculate Orangetheory Catch Me If You Can (Example):

  1. Identify your class type (e.g., 2G Runner).
  2. Look at the final checkpoint: 2.8 miles at 20 minutes.
  3. Use the math: Speed = (Distance / Time) × 60.
  4. (2.8 miles / 20 mins) × 60 = 8.4 MPH.
  5. If you average 8.4 MPH for the full 20 minutes, you will finish exactly as the clock expires.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):

What is the minimum speed to finish a 2G CMIYC as a runner?

To survive all 20 minutes of a 2G class, a runner must maintain a minimum average speed of 8.4 MPH (which results in 2.8 miles).

How does CMIYC work for Power Walkers?

Power Walkers have exactly half the distance requirement of runners. For a 2G class, the final goal is 1.4 miles at the 20-minute mark (minimum 4.2 MPH).

Can I change my speed during the challenge?

Yes! As long as your *total cumulative distance* meets the requirement at each specific checkpoint interval.

What happens if I get caught?

If you don’t meet the distance requirement, you must transition to the rower for the remainder of the treadmill block time.
