Question

After training for a marathon, you would like to complete your first attempt of the 26.22 mile race in under 4.800 hours. At what pace is the slowest you could run and still finish by your goal time (provide your answer in miles/s)?

Answer 1

Answer:

1.52 x 10^-3 miles per sec

Explanation:

distance to be covered = 26.22 miles

targeted time = 4.8 hours

4.8 hours in seconds = 4.8 x 60 x 60 = 17280 sec

Speed = distance/time

speed = 26.22/17280 = 1.52 x 10^-3 miles per sec
