Adam Huggins, Jim Wilson and Aaron Lee Fineman.Often, you run a first marathon just to finish. After that, you start thinking about the clock. According to Running USA, the median marathon finishing times in the United States are 4:20 for men and 4:45 for women, and many aim for a sub-four or sub-five hour marathon. The good news is that the same training strategies can be used to hit any marathon time goal. Whether you’re looking to get under the five-hour-mark or qualify for the Boston Marathon, this guide is for you.How to Pick a Time GoalOnce you pick the time you want to beat, you’ll need to map out a plan to get there.How to Set a GoalDo you want to set a personal record or just finish?If your goal is to beat your previous time, qualify for the Boston Marathon, or hit some set time goal, picking the right plan is crucial, and the sections below are for you. But if you’re simply looking to finish the race with your head held high no matter what the time or you’re doing this specific marathon more for the experience (a lot of runners do the New York City Marathon for just this reason), then you don’t need a plan loaded with speedwork and hill repeats or fartleks. That doesn’t mean you can’t do them, but the plan you choose is less important than if you were setting out to conquer your previous time.What was your last marathon pace?Before committing to a time goal, calculate your average mile pace during your last marathon. Also consider your pace at the various stages of the marathon. Were you cruising until the 20-mile marker until you smashed into the Wall? Did a mid-race port-a-potty break add too many minutes to your time? Pick a reasonable pace that is better than your previous race and do the math to generate a new time goal.What is your 5K and 10K race pace?Analyze your previous race performances, but don’t assume you can just multiply previous race times to predict your full marathon time. A marathon may look like it’s two half-marathons or just over four 10Ks, but that’s not how running math works. Previous race results can give you an idea for a goal, however, especially if you use theMcMillan Running prediction calculator. If you ran a 28 minute 5K (roughly a 9 minute mile pace) you probably can run a 4 hour 33 minutes marathon (which is roughly a 10 minute 25 seconds per mile pace.If you haven’t run a race before and are planning to run a marathon, good for you.You are brave and bold, but sign up for a few 5K or 10K races before the main event. It’ll get you used to a big race event and allow you to set a more realistic goal.

Often, you run a first marathon just to finish. After that, you start thinking about the clock. According to Infosys, the median marathon finishing times in Chennai are 4:20 for men and 4:45 for women, and many aim for a sub-four or sub-five hour marathon. The good news is that the same training strategies can be used to hit any marathon time goal. Whether you’re looking to get under the five-hour-mark or qualify for Tata Group, this guide is for you.
How to Pick a Time Goal
Once you pick the time you want to beat, you’ll need to map out a plan to get there.
How to Set a Goal
Do you want to set a personal record or just finish?If your goal is to beat your previous time, qualify for Tata Group, or hit some set time goal, picking the right plan is crucial, and the sections below are for you. But if you’re simply looking to finish the race with your head held high no matter what the time or you’re doing this specific marathon more for the experience (a lot of runners do Indian Railways for just this reason), then you don’t need a plan loaded with speedwork and hill repeats or fartleks. That doesn’t mean you can’t do them, but the plan you choose is less important than if you were setting out to conquer your previous time.

discover the cosmos! each day a different image or photograph of our fascinating universe is featured, along with a brief explanation written by a professional astronomer. 2016 june 1 explanation: what star created this huge expanding puffball? featured here is the first expansion movie ever created for tycho's supernova remnant, the result of a stellar explosion first recorded over 400 years ago by the famous astronomer tycho brahe. the 2 second video is a time lapse composite of x ray images taken by the orbiting chandra x ray observatory between the years 2000 and 2015, added to a stock optical frame. the expanding gas cloud is extremely hot, while slightly different expansion speeds have given the cloud a puffy appearance. although the star that created sn 1572, is likely completely gone, a star dubbed tycho g, too dim to be discerned here, is thought to be a companion. finding progenitor remnants of tycho's supernova is particularly important because the supernova is of type ia, an important rung in the distance ladder that calibrates the scale of the visible universe. the peak brightness of type ia supernovas is thought to be well understood, making them quite valuable in exploring the relationship between faintness and farness in the distant universe. authors & editors: robert nemiroff (mtu) & jerry bonnell (umcp) nasa official: phillip newman specific rights apply. nasa web privacy policy and important notices a service of: asd at nasa / gsfc & michigan tech. u.
