RT Journal Article T1 Pacing and Performance in the 6 World Marathon Majors A1 Díaz Martín, José Joaquín A1 Renfree, Andrew A1 Fernández Ozcorta, Eduardo José A1 Torres García, Miguel A1 Santos Concejero, Jordan AB The main goal of this study was to analyse the pacing strategies displayed by the winnersof the six World Marathon Majors in order to determine which race offers the greatestpotential for future world record attempts. For data analysis, the total distance of themarathon was divided into eight sections of 5 km and a final section of 2.195 km, andtime needed to complete each section was calculated in seconds. When we analyzedthe mean winning time in the last 13 editions of each of the World Marathon Majors,we observed differences between New York and London (ES = 1.46, moderate effect,p = 0.0030), New York and Berlin (ES = 0.95, small effect, p = 0.0001), London andBoston (ES = 0.08, small effect, p = 0.0001), Boston and Berlin (ES = 0.10, small effect,p = 0.0001), Boston and Chicago (ES = 0.16, small effect, p = 0.0361), Berlin andTokyo (ES = 0.20, small effect, p = 0.0034), Berlin and Chicago (ES = 0.27, small effect,p = 0.0162). This study shows that Berlin and London are likely candidates for futureworld record attempts, whilst such a performance is unlikely in New York or Boston.
