I don’t have this problem at shorter distances. The only marathons in which I have not run the second half substantially slower than the first are the few I have run non-competitively, as workouts. If I have learned only one thing from the 14 marathons I have now run it’s that pacing oneself optimally in a marathon is very difficult. My average pace over the first 23 miles was under 6:20 per mile, but my last mile was run in the range of 7:30. Yet while I did not fall apart in this race as I had in my first two marathons, I still slowed substantially in the closing 5K. I finished in 2:46:42 at the 2001 Rock n’ Roll San Diego Marathon. Not until I ran my third marathon did I run my first halfway decent one. I finished in 3:11, a scant 26 minutes off my goal time. But by the 23-mile mark I was again walking. I truly believed I had learned my lesson and started at a slightly more conservative pace than I had in Sacramento, despite the fact that I was now fitter.
My second marathon was the 2000 Long Beach Marathon. I finished in 3:34, after having run the first half in under 1:23. Consequently, by the 18-mile mark I was walking. My 6:06 first mile felt so easy that I decided to forge ahead at that pace. I truly believed that I would heed this advice, but I did not. As I trained for it, many of my friends who were marathon veterans gave me the usual warnings to “respect the distance,” pace myself conservatively, and avoid setting too ambitious a goal.

In the first column, you can see the pace at which you need to run to finish 10K at the target time. Follow the row that tells you your split times per mile, or per kilometer. If you know your target finish time for the 10K, find it in the last column. In the last column, you can see the time at which you will finish 10K. If you know the pace with which you intend to run the 10K, find it in the first column. You just need to know at what pace you can run or what your target finish time is at 10K. It is very simple to use the 10K pace chart.
