Print this and wear it. Paper on a wrist still beats a watch you have to interpret while breathing hard — printing gives you the band alone, at wrist width.

Common questions

What should my halfway split be?

For even pacing, 8:30. If you are aiming for a negative split, go through slightly slower than that and make it back over the second half.

What speed is that on a treadmill?

11.0 mph. Treadmill effort is not identical to running outdoors, so treat it as a starting point rather than an exact match.

Should I run even splits or negative splits?

Even splits are the simplest way to run your best time and the right default for most runners. A negative split of one to two percent costs a few seconds early and reduces the chance of fading badly late.
