About this calculator

13.1 mile half marathon predictor. From 10K: most accurate. From 5K: optimistic. From full marathon: conservative. Train with progressively longer runs (peak at 11-13 mi long run) for best half-marathon performance. Most amateur halves: 1:45-2:30. Sub-2:00 is a common amateur goal — equates to ~9:09/mi pace.

Frequently asked

Peak long run: 10-12 mi for half marathon (don't need to do 13 in training). Shorter runs build base.
