Marathon Pace????

[Pike]

When I entered I'd set myself the target of getting under 3:15. However recent half mara and 10 k times. 1:23.57 and 37:23 respectively indicate that I 'could' be looking at sub 3.

Calf's splits:
10 km - 0:44:58
20 km - 1:30:15
half - 1:35:09
30 km - 2:18:28
40 km - 3:26:23
finish - 3:40:15

Oh dear Calf. I guess you didn't enjoy it after 30km

[Calf]

I didn't enjoy it after 0.5 of a mile!

Your 5K is a minute better than mine so I estimate a marathon in 2.44.
However, your 10K is only 30sec faster so let's say 2.50.
And your Half is a minute slower than mine so maybe 2.54.
However, we are all different so predicting your time from my times is probably not a good idea.
What you can say is that you are better at the shorter distances and, if it's your first marathon,
will find it hard to break 3 hours.

Try www.cumberlandac.org.uk , there's an implenetation of Peter Riegel's race prediction formula on there, which seems to be pretty accurate. It is only a prediction, but it does match very well with my results.

Bit of a sprinter, I feel Pengy. Decent 5K, but getting quite pedestrian by the half . 'Bout 5 hours for the marathon
