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.

- I ran 15 miles at sub-9 pace the hard way #running #twit2fit (and on the treadmill at 11pm) I decided that I'd do a progressive workout, starting @ 6.0 mph (10'00") and going to 7.4 mph (8'06"?), by 0.1 mph increments per mile. I have the speed to run 6'30" intervals, but I'm still hesitant to push for a sub-9 pace long......
