Marathon Pace Wristband Creator

Was surfing some blog and found this to be quite useful. Most probably will use it for the year end SCSM.

Keep an Even Pace

One of the keys to achieving your best marathon time is to keep an even pace throughout the race. Go out too fast and you'll hit the wall, go out too slow and you won't be able to make up the time later (but you may feel more rested at the end). Determine the pace that you believe you can honestly achieve and stick to it.

Use these wristbands to guide you through those miles (or kilometers) when your mind can't do the math anymore (or you want to save your concentration for your race). Of course you may need to modify these numbers to take account of the local terrain - but these pace bands will help you along.

The pace band will be displayed in PDF format, and can easily be printed. If you don't have it, you'll need to download Adobe Acrobat Reader.

Your personalize pace wristband will include split times for every mile or for every five kilometers, and includes the half marathon time.
