This pace band will generate three lists of split times; an even split and two 'safety margin' splits. The safety margin splits run the race slightly faster in the first half, so you reach the 13.1 mile mark either one or two minutes ahead of even pace. After the half-way point, all three use even pace to the end. I aim to be between the one and two minute safety margins.  
+
This form will generate a [[VDOT Calculator|marathon pace]] band. Some of the key options are:
 +
* '''Safety Margin'''. If this is not zero then you will get three lists of split times
 +
** '''Safe'''. The middle list is the safety margin splits. This list uses a slightly faster pace in the first half so you reach the 13.1 mile mark with the safety margin. From then on, you run the even splits to maintain the margin.
 +
** '''Target.''' The target list uses even splits.
 +
** '''2Fast.''' The 2Fast list uses twice the safety margin, which is faster than recommended. Like the safety list, it uses even splits for the second half of the race.
 +
** The three lists can be further modified by the slow start and fade parameters.
 +
** An example may help explain this approach. For a 3:15 marathon, you need to run a 7:26 pace. The column marked 'target' uses that split time throughout the race. To have a one minute safety margin, run a 7:21 pace for the first 13.1 miles, arriving at the half-way point in 1:36:30, one minute ahead of schedule. Then run 7:26 for the rest of the race to maintain the one minute safety margin.
 +
* '''Slow Start'''. If you plan to start a little slower, you can set how much slower your first mile will be, and over how many miles you want to ease into your target pace.
 +
** '''Example''': If you set the slow pace to 60 seconds and slow distance to 4 miles, your first four miles will be 60 seconds, 45 seconds, 30 seconds and 15 seconds slower respectively. Your remaining miles will be faster to make up the lost time.
 +
* '''Fade'''. Like slow start, you can set the pace band for slowing up in the last miles.  
 +
** '''Example''': If you set the fade pace to 60 seconds and fade distance to 4 miles, your last four miles will be 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds and 60 seconds slower respectively. Your remaining miles will be faster to make up the lost time.

An example may help explain this approach. For a 3:15 marathon, you need to run a 7:26 pace. The column marked '0 min' uses that split time throughout the race. To have a one minute safety margin, run a 7:21 pace for the first 13.1 miles, arriving at the half-way point in 1:36:30, one minute ahead of schedule. Then run 7:26 for the rest of the race to maintain the one minute safety margin. The 2 minute safety margin works the same way, but uses a 7:17 pace to give the extra minute.

This form will generate a marathon pace band. Some of the key options are:

  • Safety Margin. If this is not zero then you will get three lists of split times
    • Safe. The middle list is the safety margin splits. This list uses a slightly faster pace in the first half so you reach the 13.1 mile mark with the safety margin. From then on, you run the even splits to maintain the margin.
    • Target. The target list uses even splits.
    • 2Fast. The 2Fast list uses twice the safety margin, which is faster than recommended. Like the safety list, it uses even splits for the second half of the race.
    • The three lists can be further modified by the slow start and fade parameters.
    • An example may help explain this approach. For a 3:15 marathon, you need to run a 7:26 pace. The column marked 'target' uses that split time throughout the race. To have a one minute safety margin, run a 7:21 pace for the first 13.1 miles, arriving at the half-way point in 1:36:30, one minute ahead of schedule. Then run 7:26 for the rest of the race to maintain the one minute safety margin.
  • Slow Start. If you plan to start a little slower, you can set how much slower your first mile will be, and over how many miles you want to ease into your target pace.
    • Example: If you set the slow pace to 60 seconds and slow distance to 4 miles, your first four miles will be 60 seconds, 45 seconds, 30 seconds and 15 seconds slower respectively. Your remaining miles will be faster to make up the lost time.
  • Fade. Like slow start, you can set the pace band for slowing up in the last miles.
    • Example: If you set the fade pace to 60 seconds and fade distance to 4 miles, your last four miles will be 15 seconds, 30 seconds, 45 seconds and 60 seconds slower respectively. Your remaining miles will be faster to make up the lost time.

Safety MarginSafety OnlyThe time in seconds for the safety margin, or zero for no margin
Show PacesShow the pace and accumulated average pace (only valid if safety is not set, or safety only)
Slow Start Time
If you want to start slower, this is the number of seconds per mile slower for the first mile
Slow Start Distance
For a slow start, this is the number of miles/Kms to ease into normal pace
Fade Time
If you expect to fade at the end, this is the number of seconds per mile slower for the last mile
Fade Distance
For a fade, this is the number of miles/Kms to that the fade will happen over
