Anyone done the March Madness 1/2 marathon in Cary, IL the same season as a flat marathon??? I’m doing a flat marathon in April and have a goal of 3:05. How fast should I be at the March Madness half (hilly) to be on track for my marathon goal?
MM 1/2m is really not that hilly or slow (only appears that way to Chicago folks). I’d say it’s a minute or two slower than a “flat” half. Projecting full marathon times from a half is a waste in my view but for a point of reference I ran a 1:29 half there (no rest / taper) the year I ran a 3:07 marathon.
