FAQs
Is this different from a marathon pace calculator?
Yes. This page starts with pace and estimates finish time, while the other starts with finish time and estimates pace.
Can I use mile pace instead?
This page is built around pace per kilometre, so convert your pace first if needed.
Why might my actual marathon be slower?
Late-race fatigue, weather, terrain, fueling, and pacing errors can all slow the real outcome.
