Question 1

What pace do I need to run a sub 1 hour 45 minutes half marathon?

Accepted Answer

To finish a half marathon (13.1 miles / 21.1 km) in under 1:45:00, you need to average 8:01 per mile — that's 4:59 per kilometer. The split table on this page shows the exact cumulative time to hit at every mile marker along the way.

Question 2

What are the mile splits for a sub 1:45 half marathon?

Accepted Answer

Running an even 8:01 per mile, you'd pass mile 1 at 8:01, reach halfway in about 52:30, and cross the finish line in 1:45:00. Prefer to finish faster than you start? Switch the calculator above to negative split to see per-mile targets that start slower and speed up.

Question 3

Is a sub 1:45 half marathon a good time?

Accepted Answer

Finishing a half marathon in sub 1 hour 45 minutes is a solid recreational result that reflects consistent training. Practicing 8:01 per mile in training — on tempo runs, race-pace intervals, and long runs — is the most direct way to make this goal feel routine on race day.
