How to use a marathon pace chart
Your goal time divided by 42.195 km gives the pace you must average. The hard part is holding it evenly: banking time in the first half is the number-one cause of the late-race collapse known as "hitting the wall". Each goal page below shows your exact 5K, 10K, halfway and 30K checkpoints so you can pace by feel and by watch.
