Even-pace marathon goal times from 2:30 to 7:00 in 5-minute steps. Each row lists pace per km, pace per mile, treadmill speed, and checkpoint splits.

Method

Distance: 42.195 km (official marathon). Pace per km = finish time ÷ 42.195. Mile pace = finish time ÷ 26.2188 miles.

km/h = 3600 ÷ seconds per km. mph = km/h ÷ 1.609344. Checkpoint splits multiply the even pace by checkpoint distance.

Goal times from 2:30:00 to 7:00:00 in 5-minute steps. Displayed times round to the nearest second.
