One hundred fifty female distance runners, ages 25 to 50 who had completed at least one marathon and resided in the states of Wisconsin or Minnesota werc randomly selected by computer through Media Consultation Services atid the International Race Network to participate. Eighty-two percent (N = 123) of the questionnaires were returned after 6 weeks. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, Pearson product correlations, and stepwise regression analysis. The min per mile pace ran at distances of 10 - 15 miles (PI0 - 15; r = .83), min per mile pace from 5 - 10 miles (P5 - 10; r = .81), and fastest mile time (FMT; r = .76) correlated highly to MPT. The following prediction equation for MPT (r2 = .77; p
