To finish a Full Marathon (42.195 km / 26.2 mi) in 180 minutes, you must maintain an average pace of 4:16 per kilometer (6:52 per mile), which equals an average running speed of 14.06 km/h (8.74 mph) and 102 seconds per 400m track lap.
Should I run an even split or a negative split for a 180-minute Full Marathon (42.195 km / 26.2 mi)?
