With the Twin Cities Marathon less than 2 months away, I’m getting a little nervous about making my goal of 3:10. So I decided to check out the elevation of the TC Marathon to compare it with the Des Moines Marathon (my backup plan for Boston). Both are not as flat as Memphis was last December, but very doable. While at the TC Marathon website, I stumbled upon a smart marathon pace chart unlike any other. This one accounts for starting off slower, going faster in the middle and fatiguing at mile 24. Perfect! Most other pace charts calculate the pace assuming you’ll run each mile in the same amount of time, which is highly unlikely. Thanks TC Marathon and hopefully you can get that course as flat as possible before October 3rd.
