What pace is a 2-hour half marathon?
A 2-hour half marathon takes a 9:09 mile, or 5:41 per kilometer, held for all 13.1 miles. That is 6.55 mph (10.55 km/h) on a treadmill. Paces for other common goals:
| Goal | Pace /mile | Pace /km | 10K split |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1:30:00 | 6:52 | 4:16 | 42:40 |
| 1:45:00 | 8:01 | 4:59 | 49:46 |
| 2:00:00 | 9:09 | 5:41 | 56:53 |
| 2:15:00 | 10:18 | 6:24 | 1:03:59 |
| 2:30:00 | 11:27 | 7:07 | 1:11:06 |
| 3:00:00 | 13:44 | 8:32 | 1:25:19 |
To break a goal time rather than match it, run slightly faster than the pace listed for it.
What treadmill speed do I need for my goal time?
Most treadmills set speed in steps of 0.1, so round up to the next tenth or you will run slightly slower than goal pace. For a 2-hour half marathon, 6.55 mph means setting 6.6 mph.
| Goal | Exact mph | Set to (mph) | Exact km/h | Set to (km/h) |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1:30:00 | 8.74 | 8.8 | 14.06 | 14.1 |
| 1:45:00 | 7.49 | 7.5 | 12.06 | 12.1 |
| 2:00:00 | 6.55 | 6.6 | 10.55 | 10.6 |
| 2:15:00 | 5.83 | 5.9 | 9.38 | 9.4 |
| 2:30:00 | 5.24 | 5.3 | 8.44 | 8.5 |
| 3:00:00 | 4.37 | 4.4 | 7.03 | 7.1 |
For any other speed, the treadmill pace chart converts mph and km/h to pace and covers how treadmill running compares with running outside. The treadmill calorie calculator estimates what a session at race pace burns, and our treadmill picks cover machines built for running.
What is a good half marathon time?
There is no official standard, but race results give a benchmark. At the 2017 Ljubljana half marathon, a flat course, the 7,258 finishers studied averaged 3.14 m/s for men and 2.77 m/s for women. That works out to an 8:33 mile and a finish of about 1:52 for men, and a 9:41 mile and about 2:07 for women.
That is one race in Slovenia, so treat it as a rough guide rather than a national average.
Do most runners slow down in a half marathon?
Yes, though less than in a marathon. Across 133,268 Vienna City Marathon half marathon finishers from 2006 to 2018, every group from the fastest quarter to the slowest slowed over the race, and half marathoners paced more evenly than marathoners. The fastest runners held the most even pace. The splits in this chart assume an even pace from start to finish.
How many miles is a half marathon?
A half marathon is 21.0975 km, half of the 42.195 km marathon, or 13.11 miles, usually written as 13.1. Pace charts for the other distances: marathon, 10K and 5K.
How this chart works
Pace is finish time divided by distance. A mile is exactly 1.609344 km, and road race distances follow World Athletics rules: the marathon is 42.195 km and the half marathon half of that. Split times assume one steady pace from start to finish, and treadmill speeds assume a belt that runs at the speed it displays, with no incline. Times are rounded to the nearest second.
