My target time table

I made this target time table for the marathon run last Sunday.

It's based on 8.5 min per km pace with target finish time of 6 hours.

This table is displayed as wallpaper on the phone I carried along and used to update my facebook status every 5km. I get a lot of comments and encouragement from friends who happened to read my status.

Seeing that you're ahead of the target time at every 5km segment is a great motivation for the run. I think I'll do the same again for my next marathon run but the target time will need to improve. I think I'll be happy to go sub-5 in my 2nd attempt and sub-4 one day before the end of my running career..
