Half Marathon Race Overview
The half marathon at 21.0975 kilometers (13.1094 miles) is the fastest-growing race distance in the world. It offers the challenge of a long race without the extreme demands of the full marathon, making it accessible to a wide range of runners.
Use this calculator to find the exact per-km and per-mile pace you need to maintain for your goal time. The key splits at 5K, 10K, 15K, and 20K help you set intermediate checkpoints during your race.
Common Half Marathon Goal Times and Paces
Popular half marathon goals and the paces required:
- Sub-90 minutes (1:30): 4:16 /km (6:52 /mile) — competitive club standard
- 1:45 finish: 4:58 /km (8:00 /mile) — solid recreational performance
- Sub-2 hours (2:00): 5:41 /km (9:09 /mile) — popular milestone for beginners
- 2:15 finish: 6:24 /km (10:17 /mile)
- 2:30 finish: 7:06 /km (11:27 /mile)
The sub-2-hour half marathon is one of the most common goals for recreational runners and is very achievable with 10–12 weeks of consistent training.
Half Marathon Race Strategy
The half marathon rewards smart pacing. Unlike the 5K or 10K where you can go hard from the start, the half marathon requires patience. Start at goal pace or slightly slower, and resist the temptation to surge with the excited crowd in the first kilometer.
Miles 1–3: controlled, slightly conservative. Miles 4–8: settle into goal pace, find your rhythm. Miles 9–11: maintain — this is where underprepared runners struggle. Miles 12–13.1: empty the tank if you've paced well.
Training for Your Half Marathon Pace
The key workouts for half marathon training are: weekly long run (build to 18–21km), tempo runs at 10–15 seconds faster than half marathon pace, and one shorter quality session (intervals or hills). A 10–14 week plan is sufficient for most recreational runners building from a 5K/10K base.
Your long run should be at 60–90 seconds slower than half marathon pace. The purpose is time on feet, not speed. The quality sessions at or near half marathon pace teach your body what race day effort feels like.
Predicting Half Marathon Time from 10K
A rough formula: half marathon time ≈ 10K time × 2.2. So a 50-minute 10K runner should target approximately 1:50 for a half marathon. More accurately, use the Riegel formula: T2 = T1 × (D2/D1)^1.06, giving ~2.17× the 10K time.
Fitness level, training volume, and long run preparation affect how well this predictor works. Runners who don't do long runs will perform worse than predicted; runners who specifically train for the half marathon distance may exceed predictions.
Recovery After a Half Marathon
The half marathon causes significant muscle damage despite being shorter than the full marathon. Plan for 1–2 weeks of easy running after a hard effort. A simple recovery rule: one easy day per mile raced, so roughly 13 easy days after a half marathon.
During recovery: prioritize sleep, protein intake, and low-impact movement. Return to easy running within 3–5 days if you feel ready. Avoid hard workouts for 10–14 days.
Frequently Asked Questions
What pace do I need for a 2-hour half marathon?
A sub-2-hour half marathon requires a pace of 5:41 per kilometer or 9:09 per mile. At 10K, you should be at approximately 56:50.
What is a good half marathon time for a beginner?
For a first half marathon, finishing between 2:00 and 2:30 is excellent. Many beginners target sub-2:30 as their first goal, requiring a 7:06 /km pace.
How long does it take to train for a half marathon?
Most beginner plans are 10–14 weeks. If you can already run 5–8km comfortably, you can be ready for a half marathon in 12 weeks with 4 days of running per week.
Should I eat during a half marathon?
For sub-90-minute runners, nutrition during the race is generally not necessary. For runners taking 1:45 or longer, one gel or sports drink at the 10K mark is beneficial to maintain energy.
What's the hardest part of a half marathon?
Most runners find kilometers 14–18 the most challenging — past the halfway point but with several kilometers remaining. Good pacing in the first half makes this section much more manageable.
How do I convert my 10K time to half marathon prediction?
Multiply your 10K time in minutes by 2.17 for a rough estimate. For example, a 50-minute 10K runner can target approximately 1:48–1:50 for a half marathon with specific training.
"The half marathon demands sustained effort near or at the lactate threshold — approximately 85–92% of VO2max for trained runners. Optimal training combines threshold sessions, long runs, and race-specific pacing work to develop the physiological and psychological resilience needed for this distance."
