Potential marathon times based on previous races:
Race / Time = Equivalent Marathon Time / Pace
5k (28:18) = 4:36:41, 10:33/mile
10k (58:38) = 4:35:11, 10:30/mile
10 miler (January- 1:51:36) = 5:16:04, 12:03/mile
10 miler (April-1:40:18) = 4:44:05, 10:50/mile
Half marathon (2:28:07) = 5:10:07, 11:50/mile
20 miler (training run- 3:30:00**) = 4:42:48, 10:47/mile
**I added some extra time to account for the water stops on race day**
Another way to predict your time is to take your 10k and multiply it by 4.65:
58:38 x 4.65 = 4:54:38 marathon (272.6 minutes)
I like what I'm seeing...got some sub 5:00:00's in there! To set goals or not set goals, that is the question?
And now I have a way to keep track of my pace...
AHHHHHHHH!
My parent's gave me a brand, spankin' new Garmin Forerunner 305 as an early birthday present...they wanted me to have it for my marathon!
Thanks, Mom and Dad!
I'm going to give it a whirl this afternoon.
Eeek a sub-5:00 would be incredible! I couldn't do it!
