marathon question
Message posted by: ryan b.
i have a question for anyone who has ran a marathon before. i am wondering what pace to run the marathon at. when i go for a 5 mile run/jog i run between a 7:20 and 8:20 pace, depending on the day.
when i did a 14 mile run, i averaged 8 minutes per mile, but i was really tired and sore at the end of it. when i do 10′s, i usually run at about an 8:15 pace and am fine with that, but i am not sure if i can sustain that pace for another 16 miles!
so the question is, how different was your training times vs. your actual marathon times. this will be my first marathon and i want to finish without dying! any input will help. thanks!
