atilla Posted January 17, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGR Posted January 17, 2014 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sidekick Racer Posted January 17, 2014 Share Will greatly depend on your overall physical condition because that determines the state you are in when you start the run... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret69 Posted January 17, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwissVan Posted January 17, 2014 Share 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SportySpice Posted January 17, 2014 Share and on half Iron Man? 1.45 min PB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ferret69 Posted January 17, 2014 Share 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.

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.
