The activity-tracking app – Strava – has released some information looking at the habits and activities of London Marathon runners from last year. And it’s good news for the most experienced runners.
- Runners on Strava in the 35-44 age group posted the fastest finishing time, followed by the 45-54 age group who finished in an average 3 hours 56 mins with the youngest age group (under 25s) in third, with an average finish time of 3 hours 59 mins.
- The 25-34 age group (the same age group as the majority of the elite field) was one of the slowest, only 15 seconds ahead of the 55-64 age group – potentially illustrating differences in lifestyle, level of experience and pacing strategy.
- Across all age groups the average finish time for female runners was 4 hours 23 mins, and for men, 3 hours 48 mins.
- Mile 4 was the fastest for both men and women
