What a 2:09 half marathon predicts
Estimate| Distance | Estimated time |
|---|---|
| 5K | 28:03 |
| 10K | 58:28 |
| 10 miles | 1:36:49 |
| Marathon | 4:28:57 |
These are estimates from the Riegel formula, T2 = T1 × (D2 ÷ D1)^1.06. They assume you’ve trained for the other distance, so treat them as a guide, not a promise.
Around two hours, steady beats fast
Two hours is the classic half marathon target. In this band being steady matters more than being quick: an even pace to 15 km, then whatever you have left.
You’ll be out for around two hours, so fuel for it: something in the first hour and again in the second, practised in training.
Three or four runs a week with one longer run build to this. If the long run creeps towards two hours, keep it gentle.
