Reading 2:55:00

Runners pick 2:55:00 when they want daylight under three hours without pretending they are in the 2:45 race. The even pace is 6:40.5 per mile (4:08.8 per kilometer). The spare minutes only exist if that pace is the pace you run, not the pace you write on the plan.

Halfway at even pace is 1:27:30, which falls between the half chart rows 1:25:00 and 1:30:00 and matches neither. A half finished in 1:30:00 is slower than this marathon's halfway split, so it is a softer day than 2:55:00 requires.

The default negative split moves halfway to 1:28:30 and asks for 1:26:30 coming home. That spends part of the cushion under three hours on purpose. Even pace holds halfway at 1:27:30 and leaves the cushion for when the pace actually slips.

If the easy runs are already around 8 km, the matching weeks are the 20-week marathon schedule. The schedule's long run peaks at 30 km. It does not practice the 2:55 pace itself.

The marathon preset is 42.195 km · 26.2188 mi. Splits include the last 0.195 km and 0.2188 mi.
