Reading this chart

Each row is the even pace that finishes the marathon in that time, and the split columns show where the clock should read at each point along the way. Paces are rounded to the nearest second.

Race courses are measured along the shortest route a runner could take. Most runners cover a little more than that, and GPS watches tend to read slightly long, so expect your watch to show a slightly quicker average pace than the chart for the same finish time.
