|---|---|---|
| 150 cm (4′11″) | 16.18 km · 10.06 mi | 16.11 km · 10.01 mi |
| 155 cm (5′1″) | 16.72 km · 10.39 mi | 16.64 km · 10.34 mi |
| 160 cm (5′3″) | 17.26 km · 10.73 mi | 17.18 km · 10.68 mi |
| 165 cm (5′5″) | 17.80 km · 11.06 mi | 17.72 km · 11.01 mi |
| 170 cm (5′7″) | 18.34 km · 11.40 mi | 18.25 km · 11.34 mi |
| 175 cm (5′9″) | 18.88 km · 11.73 mi | 18.79 km · 11.68 mi |
| 180 cm (5′11″) | 19.42 km · 12.07 mi | 19.33 km · 12.01 mi |
| 185 cm (6′1″) | 19.96 km · 12.40 mi | 19.87 km · 12.34 mi |
| 190 cm (6′3″) | 20.50 km · 12.74 mi | 20.40 km · 12.68 mi |
| 195 cm (6′5″) | 21.04 km · 13.07 mi | 20.94 km · 13.01 mi |
