This is so true. Having even splits is helpful. Also starting off well is critical. A lot of times it’s not until mile 3-4 where you start to feel “in gear”. There’s def a break in period so the first few miles you feel fresh BUT sometimes you’re not as loose

At 5:41 you Will run a marathon in 4:03/4:04. Thats because when you zigzag to take hidratation you run more than 42,2 km. Usually between 42,6 and 43 km.

Well a sub 4h marathon won't get you the winning prize, it will most likely be a Personal Best, so it doesn't really matter, your watch will get the PB and same on Strava, also it will take almost 2min depending on the crowd to really start the race 😅

I did this for half marathon. It's a mental game. I ran exactly 5:41 and on the last km I was panicking because I looked at the time remaining and it shows that I had enough time as per the pace but with seconds to spare. When I crossed the line it was exactly on 5:41. I felt like I was going to miss the deadline target. My only advice to anybody is that if your watch tells you you are on target trust that you are on target despite your mind telling you that you are going to be late.

@LUMIGOCHA Жыл бұрын

Yes, and If at the last few you still are feeling "fresh" kick a bit more till the finish. If you trained well and full well during the race you can finish in great conditions.

Or maybe it didn't because you were too fast even with "conservative" pacing. I did mine with 1h40 first half and 1h35 second (was a bit too conservative on first half probably) and it felt very good until the 39th

I'm focusing my training on maintaining consistent pace for the majority of my run. My biggest issue is that my pace ends up all over the place, so conditioning myself to run evenly is hard work but will be worth it.

I did my first marathon in Frankfort last year in 3:22.54 in a negative split of about 2 minutes. If you go out at a comfortable pace for the first half it's amazing the confidence and feeling you get when you start passing all those people who went out too quickly at the start.

@SubtleForces 3 ай бұрын

I had my longest long run ever on my Garmin plan yesterday. The easy range is pretty broad and I negative split it while staying almost within range except for the last k. My negative splits almost always felt great, but I am wondering about how applicable it is to the half as I expect the unexpected.

@rych7852 Жыл бұрын

My last 2 marathons Ive elected to go with the events "official pace group" to get my target time. At 2 unrelated events. With different pacers. both times the pacers have run the first 5-8km WAY faster than target time and shelled people out the back! Destroying peoples races in the process. 🙄 If anyone is running a marathon and feels they can do the required pace. Ignore the idiots with the flags or baloons and trust your watch!

I was a sprinter when I was younger. Everything over 200m already felt like a marathon to me. I've never run a marathon, 10k max. But I always started so slow that I could sprint the final 400m. Probably not the best strategy either.

@paulrawlinson8653 9 ай бұрын

The research consistently shows that negative splits are not the fastest way to pace an endurance event. Even splits are, but those who aimed for a given time and got closest to, or beat those times are those who slowed slightly over the course of the race. On the whole, you can't make up for a slow start.

I dont understand why so many runners train for marathons. It wrecks your body. Why not train for a 5k, 10k or even half marathon? There is an endless amount of training you can do for those distances, increasing the difficulty as you improve your time.

Sorry, hard to negative split a marathon. If you start out slow you will end up slower at the end anyways. Most professional runners can’t negative split the marathon. Might as well run a 5:20km pace for the first 32km than run 5:50 the last 10 km to still get under 4 hours goal. I tried many times to negative split but failed.
