Marathon Split Times — Free Bar Chart Template
This Marathon Split Times template charts your average pace (minutes per km) across nine 5km segments of a 26.2-mile race. The sample data tells a familiar runner's story: a steady 4.9-5.2 pace through the first 25km, then a gradual fade to 5.5 and 5.8 over the final 35-40km stretch where the wall hits. It's a ready-made starting point for visualizing exactly where you sped up, held steady, or slowed down.
