Mathematical Formula & Scientific Methodology
Formula: Certified Marathon Distance Metric
Pace = Total Time (sec) / 42.194988 kmApplies World Athletics certified distance specifications.
Model Assumptions
- Even pacing
Variables & Standard Units
| Symbol | Physiological Meaning | Unit |
|---|---|---|
| 42.195 km | Official Olympic marathon distance established at the 1908 London Olympics (26 miles 385 yards) | dimensionless |
Scientific Limitations
- Glycogen depletion (the marathon 'wall') between 30-35km requires strict nutritional fueling to avoid pace collapse
