How to use this half marathon pacing chart
A half marathon pacing chart turns a target finish time into checkpoints you can follow on race day. Enter a finish time or a target pace, then choose even pacing, a negative split or a positive split.
The chart uses the exact half marathon distance of 21.0975 km (13.109375 miles). It lists cumulative elapsed time at every 5 km mark and every full mile, including the final 0.109375 mile.
Pace per km = target finish time ÷ 21.0975; pace per mile = target finish time ÷ 13.109375 Negative and positive split options are planning models: the first half is adjusted by about 1.5% and the second half is adjusted in the opposite direction. Actual conditions and course layout can change your pacing.
