Read the pace, then test the assumption.
A 3:30 marathon is about 8:01 per mile or 4:59 per kilometre. A 4:00 marathon is about 9:09 per mile or 5:41 per kilometre. Treat each as a planning budget, then adjust for course, weather and training evidence.
For a controlled close, compare the negative split calculator. For an at-a-glance table, use the marathon pacing chart.
