The most common question I get from people back home is: What's China like? My website: http://www.owendennis.com China blog: http://www.owendennis.com/blo...
Assuming you can run 2 miles now at a nice easy pace (conversational), within 20 weeks you should be able to train up to being able to finish marathon distance at that nice easy pace (between 10 and 12 minute miles) or approximately 4 to 5 hours.
I'm running a marathon and I'm not sure what pace to run. How can I estimate my marathon finishing time?. Finishing times for marathons (26.2 miles) range from a little over two hours for world-class, elite marathoners to 8+ hours for walkers.
