The Indy Monumental Half Marathon is less than 2 days away, after the Eville Half I wasn't quite as obsessively excited about this one.... until now. My obsessing has begun, I want a sub 2 hour finish and so I used a pace calculator and put in 1:58:59 for a finish and it gave me a 9:05 min/mile pace so then I put in that pace of the 5k, 10k, and 15k distance to figure up what times I need when crossing those mats in order to finish at 1:58:59 and this is what I got:
5k Mat : 28:10
10k Mat : 56:19
15k Mat : 1:24:29
Seems doable, my fastest 5k as of yet is 25:29, my fastest 10k as of yet is 54:36 and my fastest 15k was in September and my time for that was 1:24:16 so that is close to what my time needs to be at by the time I cross the 15k mat. Said times give me:
5k - 25:29 - 8:12 min/mile
10k - 54:36 - 8:48 min/mile
15k - 1:24:16 - 9:02 min/mile
I think, since I seem to keep having bathroom issues around mile 11, I am going to give it a good push in the first half of the race. If I can pull these same times off at their distances, I should be able to finish with a sub 2 hour time with no problem...
