We’re in the middle of the Spring racing season here in the US and a lot of runners ask me questions about pacing for their upcoming race.
Should you start slow and then try to finish fast?
Should you start fast and try to make up some time for when you inevitably slow down at the end of a race?
Should you focus on your heart rate? Your cadence? Your current pace or average pace?
Believe it or not, there is one pacing strategy that has been proven time and again to be the most effective for practically every runner.
Today I will answer the question, “What’s the best pacing strategy”, so you can go out there and crush your Spring race this year.
