| DID YOU KNOW..... |
....if
you learn your pace or at least some of your splits, you will know right
where you stand going through the race and you will be more comfortable
making adjustments during the race. Also, assume that at least mile one
and perhaps two will be slower than you project. You might want to add time to your pace for the first couple of miles, and adjust your
race to match. Finally, don't blow through the first half too fast
because you feel good. Stick to the pace plan and try not to push any
mile too much. A little time in the bank is good, but it does you no
good if you are too tired to keep your pace up at the end.
