Words to run by

“The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret of getting started is breaking your complex overwhelming tasks into small manageable tasks, and then starting on the first one.” Mark Twain

Pace Prediction Chart

This prediction chart was calculated by Gerry Purdy in his book, Computerized Running Training Programs. The numbers are rounded to make it easier to remember the corresponding times for your target race. For the average runner under average conditions, a 22 minute 5K would give them the necessary speed to do a 1:45 half marathon. Conversely, a 4:15 marathoner should be able to run a sub 2:00 half marathon. Of course, there will be a variety of outcomes on either side of this performance curve depending on the race course, weather, training specific to the distance, mental preparation, and pacing strategies, to name a few. Each person will tend to have a niche distance that they will do better at. However, the chart is accurate for most people. In other words, use it with discretion.
