Quick question for the marathoners...

[PRINCESS VIJA]

What is the pace required for the marathon? I am looking to do the 1/2 in 2007 and I am starting to get my goals in order so I can accomplish this dream!

My understanding is that you have to finish the half marathon in 3.5 hours, which translates to hitting a mile marker every 16 minutes. I have heard you should train to do every mile in 15 minutes, to give yourself a bit of a cushion!
Have fun training!

Thanks for the info!

That info is correct. Stop over to the Marathon/half marathon training thread. It is never too early to begin your trek. You can get all sorts of great info and inspiration there. There are some folks working toward the 2007 instead of the 2006.

You will be most Welcome!
