atilla Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Hi everyone, What is the avg time "lost" on an IM marathon compared to a normal standard marathon. I come from a big running background and thus running is my strongest dicipline. If i can run lets say a 2h40 standard marathon, what type of time will be a good IM marathon time?

LOL Well...I'll get the ball rolling Best Marathon time = 3:18 (Flat run) and 1/2 marathon = 1:29 (some hills / down hills not major). IM Marathon times (old SA style IM's i.e. not 180k cycle) = vary between 5 - 7 hrs :blush: Edited January 17, 2014 by SwissVan
JGR Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Joe Friel says you should be able to run 20% faster than your goal time for IM. in your case 3hours 12 mins could be your number then ... based on PB.
Sidekick Racer Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Will greatly depend on your overall physical condition because that determines the state you are in when you start the run...
Ferret69 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 All depends on how hard you hit the Bike, but if you are Smart and leave some gas in the Tank I would agree with 20-25% diffrence from "RECENT" PB to Ironman Split... My 2013 - Vaal in March 2013 3h05 , Ironman Marathon 2013 - 3h47 Thus 22.5% was mine To add To Ops Title, i would add RECENT marathon PB, last 6 Months ish
SwissVan Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 Will greatly depend on your overall physical condition because that determines the state you are in when you start the run... Very true, nutrition also very important....Go to hard and the muscles crampEat / Drink wrong and the stomach revolts Both conditions very difficult to run / jog with
Ferret69 Posted January 17, 2014 Posted January 17, 2014 (edited) and on half Iron Man? 1.45 min PB In my Personal Experience Id say half the Full 22.5% to between 10-12% of Recent PB. In 2013 I had run an 1h25 min Half Marathon and finished 70.3 EL with a 1h34.15 So with a 1h45 Id say look for a 1h55 to sub2. Edited January 17, 2014 by Ferret69

My last 70.3 run split was more than 20% of my PB or even recent time. You are just a machine so 90kms would hardly touch sides for you - as I didn't come from a cycling background the ride really kills my run.
atilla Posted January 17, 2014 Author Posted January 17, 2014 Obviously doing alot of brick sessions will help? ie running of the bike
