Pacing

The worst tactics as a beginner marathoner is to go all out from the start line and later stages you will ‘kaput’ Unless you have train for it.So better, to pace yourself is every 10km mark ie simply work out what your predict time to cover the distance.

If you are not within the time set, then increase your speed, so that the next 20km you are within the range. Usually the last 10km you should add extra minutes as by then your body begin to takes it tolls, so pace yourself during the run.

If you have no idea what race pace feels like, follow the pacemaker, as in SIM there are pacer who runs to the time that you want to finish the race. Eg 4hrs, 5 hrs or 6hrs.

Have fun all this week end….
