Boston Marathon Qualifying Times Chart and Predictor. An interesting take on calculators:
For me:
- (for 100 miles per week) The slowest you can run and still qualify for the Boston Marathon is 3:10:59. This is a 7:17 per mile pace. If you train at 100 miles per week, you need to run a 5 K in 20:20, which is 6:32 per mile pace.
- (for 40 miles per week) The slowest you can run and still qualify for the Boston Marathon is 3:10:59. This is a 7:17 per mile pace. If you train at 40 miles per week, you need to run a 5 K in 19:05, which is 6:08 per mile pace.
Interestingly enough, my peak 12-week training period was about 43 mpw.
