Upgrade your pace tracking with the digital running log

For runners who want to track their training and pace goals in one place, the Digital Running Log for Marathoners is a complete tool.

Inside this Google spreadsheet, you’ll find a Pace Calculator tab that automatically estimates your finishing time for 5K, 10K, half marathon, and full marathon distances based on your target pace.

It also includes instructions for printing splits charts to create pace bands for training runs or race day. This makes it easy to put your pace charts into practice and stay on track toward your race goals.

The above is a peak at what the pace calculator inside the Digital Running Log looks like. 

Learn More about using your pace

Understanding your pace is one thing—using it effectively in training is another. These guides show how to apply your pace charts to your runs:

• Marathon Pace Guide - How to set and run your goal marathon pace
• Marathon Pace Bands - Learn how to create and use pace bands for your races.
• Long Run Pace - Find the right pace for your training long runs.
• Pacing Tips - great tips on how to pace your long and short runs

Why Pace Charts Are Useful

Pace charts make training smarter and racing more predictable. Knowing your target pace helps you structure workouts, track progress, and avoid starting too fast or too slow on race day.

You can also link your pace goals directly to my marathon and half marathon training plans for personalized guidance.

For example, if your goal marathon pace is 9:09 per mile (4-hour marathon), follow a structured plan like our Sub-4 Hour Marathon Finishing Time Goal Training Plan to reach your goal safely and efficiently.

The Digital Running Log is also a practical way to track and use pace charts in real training.
