Subject: Picking the right pace for a Marathon BT'ers - would welcome your thoughts on the following: I just finished a half marathon this weekend and ran a 1:26. I am trying to figure out what I should target during the upcoming Lausanne Marathon (Oct 21st ). My average HR during the race was kind-of high (163 ), so I do not think I can keep up the same pace for a full marathon. I would like to break 3 hours, but figure 3:10 might be a more realistic time.
What have been your experiences?
Race details:
05K: 20:10 (162ahr )
10K: 20:30 (163ahr )
15K: 21:00 (165ahr )
20K: 21:00 (162ahr )
21.1K: 3:35 (170ahr )
(max hr is 185 )
ps: I ran a 15km x-country race a few weeks back in 1hr. Heart rate was about the same - 164.
