Reading 3:50:00

3:50:00 is the last common stop before the four-hour clock. 8:46.3 per mile and 5:27.1 per kilometer will not be confused with the 4:00 page once you look at halfway. Runners who say "about four" and mean this time should use this page, not the round one.

Halfway is 1:55:00, exactly the 1:55:00 half-chart row. The next labeled half, 2:00:00, belongs to the four-hour marathon. Those five minutes at halfway are why 3:50 and 4:00 do not share a page.

Even halfway is 1:55:00. Negative by the default two minutes makes it 1:56:00 and the second half 1:54:00. You are still aiming at 3:50, not backing into four hours. If the goal is 4:00, use that page's even split instead.

Before you round this up to four hours, you can still file the pace under the 20-week marathon schedule, as long as easy runs of about 8 km are already happening. The schedule's job is the 30 km long run, not a four-hour promise.

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