What pace per km and per mile is needed for a 240-minute Full Marathon (42.195 km / 26.2 mi)?
To finish a Full Marathon (42.195 km / 26.2 mi) in 240 minutes, you must maintain an average pace of 5:41 per kilometer (9:09 per mile), which equals an average running speed of 10.55 km/h (6.55 mph) and 137 seconds per 400m track lap.
Should I run an even split or a negative split for a 240-minute Full Marathon (42.195 km / 26.2 mi)?
Exercise physiology studies show a 1% to 2% negative split (running the first half ~2–3 seconds per km slower than 5:41/km and accelerating in the final third) minimizes early lactate accumulation and glycogen depletion.
