I'm running the London Marathon, and I wanted to know how accurate Garmin's Race Predictor tool really is – so I grilled Garmin

Garmin Forerunner 165.

“This doesn’t seem right,” I thought, looking at my watch. The little race predictor widget on my Garmin Epix read “TCS London Marathon: 3W, 3:35:16.” That stands for “three weeks away, predicted time: three hours, 35 minutes, 16 seconds.” 

It was way faster than I was planning on running, much faster than my usual long training runs, and way quicker than my first marathon (four hours, four minutes, 51 seconds). It made me more than a little nervous.
