WEEK
16 LESSON: YOUR STRATEGY
Question: What is the best way to pace myself during
the marathon
Answer: Even if
you’ve done everything right in training, you can cancel all that good with as
little as one wrong move on race day. The first and worst bad move is to bolt
from the starting line far faster than your training pace. Crowd hysteria and
your own raging nervous system conspire to send you into the race as if fired
from a cannon. Try to work against the forces of the crowd and your natural
desires. Pull back the mental reins at a time when the voices inside are
shouting, “Faster!” Be cautious in your early pacing, erring on the side of
too-slow rather than too-fast. Hold something in reserve for the late miles.
This is where you reward yourself for your early caution, by passing instead of
being passed. Being the passer rather than the passee is a lot more fun.
