Common questions
What is the half marathon pace?
It turns the numbers you type into a half marathon pace figure you can read in one sitting. Use it as a guide, not a diagnosis.
Is sub-two hours realistic?
That is about 9:09 per mile. Some runners get there with steady training; others need a longer build. Be honest about current long-run pace.
Should race pace match every training run?
No. Most miles should be easier. Save goal pace for specific sessions.
Can I include walk breaks?
Yes. Plan average pace including walks so the finish time still stacks up.
