Some Marathon Tidbits!

The current average time for male and female marathon participants is approximately 4:15 minutes and 4:45 minutes respectively.  If you’re considering running a full marathon for the first time it’s advised that you run consistently for at least a full year before tackling the classic distance and if you’re considering participation in a half-marathon it’s best to have been running consistently for at least 6 months before engaging the distance.  Furthermore, first participating in 5K’s and 10k’s in your lead up to either distance is greatly advised for the experience they provide.  Breaking 3:30 minutes in a marathon is a great long-term goal for males and breaking 4 hours in a marathon is a great long-term goal for females.
