Now that I have mentally committed to running my first full marathon (Philadelphia in November 2011), I'm spending some time trying to set a realistic goal for my pace.
Generally, during my daily runs on the treadmill, I keep a fairly easy pace of 12:30. This year, my 5K pace has been averaging between 8:30 and 8:50. And, this coming weekend (May 1), I am targeting a 9:30 pace for the 10-Mile Broad Street Run.
So, what's a realistic goal for my first full marathon? Based on this helpful article from Active.com, I am projecting a 10:24 mile which will give me a finish time of 4:32:00.
