Factors to take into account in a half marathon.




The half marathon, the 21 km race, has become one of the most common and repeated goals among runners season after season, most likely because for many it is a challenging and possible distance at the same time and based on that Many runners are encouraged to plan and train for it.


Those who regularly run half marathons and do so with a relatively close frequency, surely already have their times quite well established and can make fairly accurate predictions of what final times they can aspire to and thus be able to make the best possible race strategy, but Surely the outlook is quite different for those who are making their debut in the distance or for runners who do not run a half marathon with such regularity and, therefore, are not very clear about what they are doing and at what paces to run on the day of the competition.


And it is then that speculation begins to appear about the results of the half marathon based on the times of 10 km races, which are surely the ones that are most commonly run.




First of all, we must clarify that the above is half possible, since we can have an approximate idea of ​​the time we will spend in our 21 km, but without too many details this happens because the result of our half marathon depends a lot on our training. of what we have done, but not only of that but there are also a series of external factors that tend to be determining in the final time on the day of the race, such as, for example, the slope of the circuit, its curves, the number of runners Especially in the first kilometers where there are usually crowds and we cannot run, our pace, our mood, the weather and there we include the wind, the cold, the heat, the rain, our physical fatigue, which greatly influences how we sleep at night. prior to the degree and several other factors, however, there are tables of equivalences based on statistical data that are usually met in most cases or at least fairly close.


It is clear that this is simply a reference value that can be used to build your race strategy, then there will be runners who will go a little faster, others a little slower, also taking into account the external factors that I mentioned. just that they can influence both negatively and positively, but this is simply a reference to know more or less where to aim.
