With a team from my work place, SAP and for a charity Redkite.
Blackmores Sydney Marathon | Sydney Running Festival
21.0975 Kms
Sept 18th
For someone who at the most has run 5Km this is an interesteing journey.
But i hope it will involve a lot of discipline and joy and pain (more of the latter)
Looking at the last years run results
7251 of the 8487 entrants completed the race in an average time of 2hrs and 05 min
The quickest was 1hr and 6 minutes (thats about 19Kmph average! throughout the race or approx 3 min per Km pace!!)
The average time is a reasonable 10Kmph or a pace or little less than 6.00 km per min - which is probably my base speed but i have never run more than 4 or 5 kms till date at that speed
The official cut off time is 2hrs and 45 min and that would be a pace of 7min 49 per km or better....
