Reading 4:00:00

Four hours is the other round marathon, after three. 4:00:00 at even pace is 9:09.2 per mile and 5:41.3 per kilometer. It is a popular first goal and a popular second goal, which is why the training start matters more here than the digits do.

Even pace reaches halfway at 2:00:00, the 2:00:00 row on the half marathon pace chart. A two-hour half and a four-hour marathon share the pace. The marathon still has another two hours after that row ends. A half run much slower than 2:00 is not this pace.

Even halfway is exactly 2:00:00. The default negative split makes the first half 2:01:00 and the second 1:59:00, so you break two hours at halfway only because you started slower. The four-hour even plan hits 2:00:00 at the half and does not need that repair.

If you can already run about 8 km, put the four-hour clock on the 20-week marathon schedule. If that easy distance is not true yet, switch to the beginner marathon schedule, which spends six weeks on jog-and-walk before continuous running. Four hours does not decide that for you. The starting point does.

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