Running a half marathon requires a little practice, and there are many factors that could keep you from running the race.

Your age affects this. The average age of men who run the half marathon is 45, but the average age of women is 43. The marathon starts at about a half-mile ahead of the half at a 6:00 pace, and the half marathon starts at about 1 hour and 45 minutes ahead at a 6:06 mile pace.

If you want to run an official race, the distance is about 2 hours and 12 minutes. So to answer the question, you would say, “Running a half marathon this year, I will do a half mile in 5:00:02 pace.” Knowing this number will make this year’s half marathon much more fun. Using this calculation for the half marathon gives you a pace for the first mile that is 2:25 minutes faster than the full marathon pace.

From there, you’re going to be running two miles at 4:45 minutes per mile faster than your half marathon pace. A good rule of thumb is to run one mile in 3:27 and add two minutes per mile. This rule is used to calculate the number of steps you need to get ahead in your races. So now run ahead!
