What is a good running pace for beginners?

A comfortable beginner pace is 7–8 min/km (11–13 min/mile). You should be able to hold a conversation while running. Focus on time on feet before worrying about pace.

How do I calculate my marathon finish time?

Multiply your per-km pace (in seconds) by 42.195 to get total seconds. Convert to hours:minutes. For example, 5:30/km × 42.195 = 232 minutes = 3:52:04.
