What's the Expected Time?

With this being my 1st Half Marathon I have been asking myself what time do I expect to accomplish the race in. I asked around and a bunch of people recommended me going to McMillan Running so I did. Earlier this year I ran a 3 mile time trial of 23:58 so I used that as my base to calculate my expected time. This is a great tool to plan my pace, type of runs and goals for training and races.

Thank you for using the McMillan Running Calculator on www.mcmillanrunning.com

Initially the goal for the race was to prove to myself I could complete 13.1, but training with a group of people have excelled my running performance. Not only can I complete the race I should be able to do so in a reasonable time.

According to these numbers I should be a sub 2 half marathoner. I have high expectations but I hope all goes well. I don't have the experience of pacing myself or focusing with that many people around. Music City Half is overall a hillier course making it a more difficult half. The good thing is no matter what happens at least this will be a PR!
