Reply to "Marathon Measurement Plan"

I agree - I am very careful when taping metrically to make sure I'm reading the correct decimal place. But once that's done, it's a lot easier working metrically for the actual on-course measurements. Hugh Jones was the guy who convinced me to think of it as putting marks every 1609.344m rather than every mile. Since the majority of courses I measure are metric (and that includes half & full marathons - I absolutely HATE working in miles and yards, or worse, fractions of a mile for those distances) it's way easier. Even 3- and 5-milers are easier for me if thought of as 4828.032m or 8046.72m.
