For the uninitiated, pacers, or “rabbits,” are world-class runners tasked with leading the top elites out at an agreed upon pace. They are used in many big-name races, including World Marathon Majors like Berlin, London, and Tokyo.

A race stage, leg, or heat is a unit of a race that has been divided in several parts for the reason such as length of the distance to be covered, as in a multi-day event. Usually, such a race consists of "ordinary" stages, but sometimes stages are held as an individual time trial or a team time trial.

The average 5K pace per mile is about 13 minutes for women and 11 minutes for men, resulting in finish times around 42 and 35 minutes, respectively. More experienced runners may be able to keep an 8-minute mile pace, finishing their 5K in about 26 minutes.

A 3:00 marathon is approximately 6:50 per mile. To break 3:00, you should eventually be capable of a sub-1:25 half-marathon (6:30 per mile) and sub-38:00 10K (6:00 per mile) Right now, you should be running at least 35-40 miles per week, over six or seven sessions.

The typical marathon runner will need to consume thousands of calories on race day to power his or her high-intensity run. The typical marathoner could consume 2,500 calories on top of those needed to power basic metabolism, meaning some runners will need to eat 5,000 to 6,000 calories a day.

While running/rowing are both largely dependent on cardiovascular capacity, they don't cross over seamlessly. Some rowers (as a result of the power we have to generate for every stroke) are much less likely to be good runners simply because they carry too much muscle mass in their legs.

Recreational runners tend to concentrate on either relatively short races, such as 5K and 10K, or get hooked on the marathon. In between, there are the longer endurance distances of the half-marathon (13.1 miles) and the 20K (12.4 miles).

The International Marathon Medical Directors Association has suggested that during a marathon runners drink about 400-800ml of fluid per hour, with the upper level being in warmer environments for faster and heavier runners, and the lower level in cooler conditions for slower runners.

@MJCockerill Sorry no pacers. We have tried but they 'bulk up' runners around them and make it difficult for the lead runners to overtake…

Too: most organized marathon races have cutoff times around 6 hours. Oh..how many calories you burn depends on bodyweight. A 160 pound person would burn about 1500 calories slow-walking 26 miles. Hope this helps!

A pacemaker is an experienced runner that follows the course along with all participants of the race, but his/her main task is to set an optimal pace of running – the rhythm, which would guarantee that participants reach the finish in due time.

It is the time you run each mile in a 5K race. So if you run a 5K in 24 minutes your pace is about 8 minutes per mile. You have a range of paces; how fast you run 800 meters is different from how fast you run a mile which is different from how fast you run a half marathon. ... 5K Pace: about 12:55.

A 4:00 hour marathon is approximately 9:00 per mile. To break 4:00, you should eventually be capable of a sub-1:50 half-marathon (8:20 per mile) and sub-50:00 10K (8:00 per mile). Right now, you should be running at least 20 miles per week, and be able to run for an hour non-stop.
