YES if you lose 10 lbs then your marathon time will decrease by almost 10 minutes—so maybe the half marathon time would be more of a faster finish time. I use the web site Running for fitness by Owen Barder—good information! Personally for me I am 2 minutes slower in the 5K and 15 minutes slower in the marathon as a result of a 10 lb weight gain
