Just over 3 weeks to go to the Manchester Marathon and 4 weeks to the London Marathon!
If you’re training for a marathon right now, this is a really good moment to check in with your race‑day pace plan.
Don't overthink it.
Don't chase fitness you don’t need.
Just to make sure you feel clear, calm, and confident about what you’re aiming for.
Use the charts to ask yourself:
• Does this pace feel comfortable and achievable from training?
• Can I imagine holding it when things get tough later on?
• Do I have a sensible back‑up if the day doesn’t feel perfect?
You don’t need everything nailed down - you just need a plan that respects the work you’ve already done.
Marathon day rewards patience, clarity, and trust in your preparation.
This is simply about giving yourself that reassurance ahead of time.
Save this post, check your target time, and take a moment to visualise how you want race day to feel.Share this post with a training partner or comment with your goal finish time!
