Find Out How Fast You Will Run a Marathon With This Calculator
If you’ve ever wondered how fast you can complete the entire 26.2 miles of a marathon, this calculator will give you a hint.
The Calculator from Christie Aschwanden and Ella Kuze of FiveThirtyEight asks you just a few questions about your training, your longest recent race, and your timing. After you answer each question, it instantly gives you an approximate running time using a specific equation that automatically accounts for fatigue ( you can read about the formula in detail here ). If you have a marathon, knowing your estimated time, you can plan your pace so as not to hit the wall too early. It also gives you the opportunity to improve your training regimen if your current runs are not meeting your goals. You can try it yourself at the link below.
