Marathon Pace Band, 3:00 Finish, Mile Splits
Boston-qualifier territory calls for discipline at every mile marker. A printed pace band keeps your splits honest when adrenaline pushes you out too fast in the opening kilometres. Print this chart, cut the narrow strip, and tape it around your wrist so you can glance at cumulative times without unlocking your phone.
Each row assumes even pacing from start to finish — no built-in negative splits or walk breaks. If your race plan includes a slower first half, adjust the goal time upward or use the controls below. Mile markers match standard US marathon signage; kilometre splits are available on separate pages if you prefer.
Print at 100% with scaling turned off. Fold the strip once for a sturdier band, or laminate it if rain is in the forecast.
