The aim of this study is to determine, on the basis of
performance levels, running pace profiles of the male runners (n=2095) who
completed the 40th International Istanbul Marathon in less than 6 hours. While
0-35 km of the marathon was divided into 5 km long sections, 35-42.2 km of it
was determined as the last segment which was 7.2 km. The average speeds of the
running pace of the athletes in the determined segments were calculated.
Performance groups were evaluated in 8 different groups with the athletes
completing the race in the finishing time slower than the winner’s race time. The difference between performance groups and
successive segments was evaluated with Mixed Anova. The results of the Mixed Anova analysis showed that
there were statistically significant differences between inter-segments race
profiles depending on the performance level (p<0.000). Overall, the
athletes showed an increasing pace in all the performance groups in the first
ten kilometers of the race (p<0.001). The highest level of the
performance group showed an even pace in the segments between 10 and 25 km,
while it fell between 25 and 30 km and continue at this level between 30 and 35
km. In other groups, it was observed that the speeds fell inversely
proportional to the performance in the segments between 10 and 35 km (p<0.05).
In the last 7.2 km segment, it was observed that the athletes with the highest
level of performance had a decrease in pace and the rate of decrease in the
pace was lower in the groups with lower performance level. Only in the slowest
group of athletes, the pace was observed to increase in the last segment.
Considering the whole race, it was seen that the athletes showed a pace profile
close to the positive pace profile in general.
