How the calculator works - formulas

Calculation	Formula	Description
Time pace	Pace = total time / 42.195 km	Calculates pace in minutes and seconds per kilometer
Average speed	Speed = 3600 / (pace in seconds)	Running speed in km/h
Time from pace	Finish = pace (s/km) × 42.195 km	Estimated marathon finishing time

Step-by-step examples

Goal: break 4 hours

Time = 4:00:00. Pace = 4 h × 3600 s / 42.195 ≈ 340.7 s/km ≈ 5:41 min/km. Average speed ≈ 10.6 km/h. Splits: 10 km ≈ 56:50, half marathon ≈ 1:59:00, finish line ≈ 4:00:00.

Pace 6:00 min/km

Pace = 6:00 → 360 s/km. Time = 360 × 42.195 ≈ 15,190 s ≈ 4 h 13 min 10 s. Speed ≈ 10.0 km/h.

Pace 5:00 min/km

Time = 300 s/km × 42.195 km = 12,658 s ≈ 3 h 31 min. Splits: half marathon ≈ 1:45:30, 30 km ≈ 2:30:00, 40 km ≈ 3:20:00.

Approximate table

Pace (min/km)	Average speed (km/h)	Marathon time
7:00	8.6	4 h 55 min
6:00	10.0	4 h 13 min
5:30	10.9	3 h 52 min
5:00	12.0	3 h 31 min
4:30	13.3	3 h 10 min
4:00	15.0	2 h 49 min
