Pace Bands for the Dublin Marathon...

Marathon Pace Bands......One of the keys to a good Marathon time is to run at an even and steady pace for the distance. If you have a target in mind, then you'll need to know what your mile splits are.

Click on this LINK and you can create a pace band for your time. Ideally, you should cut out the strip and laminate it. Put it around you wrist and use a piece of tape to keep it in place. If you can't laminate it then cover it in clear sellotape. Otherwise the paper will just absorb the sweat from your wrist and break.

Pace bands for the Marathon from Lucozade Sports...

If you have a target time in mind for the Marathon, you should work out beforehand what your various splits will so you can see if you are on target or not. There's a very useful utility on the Lucozade Sports website where you can enter your estimated finish time and it will generate a page for you that you can print. Just cut out the selected section, wrap it around and make a bracelet out of it. Simple!

I know that many of you may be looking at this website from work (...during your coffee break of course ;o). So, I'm putting it up now so that you can print it out on Friday.

Tip...staple the ends together and then cover the whole lot in sellatape. Otherwise, the sweat from your arm will cause the paper to fall apart.
