Half marathon pace questions
What pace for a sub-2 hour half marathon?
To run a half marathon under 2 hours you need to average 5:41 per km (9:09 per mile). Aim to run the first half slightly slower than target pace to avoid fading in the final kilometres.
What is a good half marathon time for an intermediate runner?
Intermediate runners typically finish between 1:45 and 2:00 (4:58–5:41 per km). Reaching this level usually requires 3–4 runs per week including one long run of 16–18 km.
How do I pace a half marathon for a negative split?
Run the first 10K about 10–15 seconds per km slower than your target pace, then gradually increase to target pace by 15K. Save your fastest kilometres for the final 5K. Use the RunReps Negative Split Calculator for exact splits.
