Marathon Splits for a Single Runner


(This is the 5th post in a series that started here)

I ran negative splits in my three best marathons, which were all run more than 10 years ago, including my PR at Cape Cod 2002. But my best age-graded marathon (Cape Cod 2012) was a 5 minute positive split.

How much does even pacing matter? Something to think about.

Meanwhile, in my next post, we’ll go back to Boston 2014 and look at split data sorted by gender.
