Marathon Calculator
My mind on my days off needs to be put to work. So what did I do….I worked on something for my marathoning.
All day I have been working on an excel sheet for planning out a marathon on race day. This calculator will tell you the elapse time you will cross each mile marker and your average pace (min/mile). It will also tell you at what time (i.e. 7:22 AM) you will pass each mile marker. I did this for my loving wife who likes to know about what time I will be passing her when he meets me at certain points in the race.
I made the chart so it may be printed onto an 8 1/2 X 11 paper. Your spouse and family can use it during race day and also you can cut out the chart of the elapsed time and tape it to your forearm to use as reference during the race.
It’s nothing pretty, just nice and simple. I am trying to figure out code to have this pasted into a website and you will put in the start time and expected total time than out will pop a chart for you to print.
Please share it with anyone and everyone! I want to give back to the running community. If you have any suggestions please email me.
One simple step will get you your numbers…
1. fill in your expected finish time and the time the race starts in the red fields….Voila!
**Don’t worry all you half marathoners, there is a calculator for you also!!**
