Reading the chart

Each row assumes even pacing: the same pace from the gun to the line. The split columns show where the clock should read at each checkpoint for that finish. Most runners do best a touch slower than goal pace early and slightly faster late; the negative split calculator builds that plan for you. For a time that isn’t in the table, use the pace calculator.
