Reply: From: Date:	decent marathon time for a new runner Candace 5/14/04 2:52:00 PM ET
I am excited about training for a marathon. Having a constant and always changing goal is great (once I get to a certain milage, I want to move up and try harder, and go farther). I have my first small race tonight(Friday). Its just a 5k, but i'm excited becuase I want my time to be as good as it can be. My question is this: For Some one who is going to run a marathon for the first, what would be considered "good time" for a first timer. My running buddies are taller than me and have longer legs, and they weigh more than me. I am only 5"2' and about 102 pounds. A 10 minute pace for my friend is MUCH different than a 10 minute pace for me. How will this affect my time? (or will is affect it at all?) Post a reply on the Bulletin Board
