Weakest-link penalty applied: Structural readiness at 17% pulls the overall probability down to 34% of the weighted average — a marathon needs every input sufficient at once, not just a good average.

Course analysis
Tell us about the course and we'll compare it against your real training data.
Thames Valley Marathon
Temperature
You've trained at an average of 12°C. At the course's expected 18°C, expect your heart rate to run about +3bpm higher than usual at the same effort — pace by effort, not by your usual splits, especially in the back half.
Hills
Not enough hilly training data yet to estimate this course's specific time cost — run some hills to calculate.
Distance & terrain readiness
Your longest run to date is 42.2km — 100% of this course's 42.2km distance. That run's climbing (2m/km) is a reasonable match for this course's profile.
Course profile
Rolling terrain adds small, repeated pace surges that don't show up in a single elevation-gain number — expect slightly more variability in your splits than a flat course.
Surface
Road racing — no surface-specific adjustment needed beyond what's already reflected in your training paces.
Predicted pace by block
Estimated from your target pace, this course's elevation profile, and your durability score — a heuristic, not a guarantee.

Benchmarks remaining
- →Weakest input: Structural readiness (17%) — nothing quick — this builds only with consistent training volume over months/years.
- →A long run of 42km+ maxes out long-run readiness.
- →8 weeks to race day — time to keep building.
