How to Use the Marathon Pace Chart:
If you have a target marathon finishing time, check the last column and find your target time.
Then check the corresponding pace – this is the average pace you have to run throughout your marathon.
To find out how best to incorporate this pace into your training regime, check out our Marathon Training Guide.
If you don’t have a target finishing time, you can use your finishing times from other events (i.e. a 10k) to estimate a target marathon finishing time (although you likely will require distance training to maintain the same pace over a longer distance).
