Hey Flo – thank you SO much for this. I am about to run my first Tokyo Marathon, and your pace was basically the same as what I am targeting!
So the 3:00 pace runners actually run to gun time by the looks of it … not net time? Useful to know.
You mentioned zig-zagging, presumably though the extra distance your watch recorded was also due to the tall buildings…?
Thanks!
