Don’t Waste Another Training Session |
“The execution plan was excellent. I got to mile 10 with enough energy left to actually race the last 3.1 miles. It was way more energizing to be passing people that being out of gas those last miles. I carried my own water and gels and even ran past the aid stations. I was also pleased with myself that I didn’t quit when it really started to hurt.”
— Steve M. Marathon Nation Member
Why You Need To Know How To Race
Everyone has a training plan, but few are ready to race. After months and months of solo runs, managing fatigue, and making sacrifices…your big marathon is looming. You feel your pulse quicken as you anticipate lining up at the start…and visualize the finish line.
Only then do you realize that you have no idea what to do for the 26.2 miles in between!
- You could start out fast like Fast Freddy, hoping to put time into “the bank”…until you realize there’s no getting back that critical energy when you really need it.
- You could skip the early aid stations to save time…only to bonk later on when your system is incapable of processing the precious calories you need.
- You could ignore the dreaded “wall” that everyone mentioned to you…but you run the risk of having your marathon completely derailed by the inevitable.
“Thanks for the pacing advice on Boston, the down hills killed my quads like you warned, and I just missed a reverse split by 3 seconds. You helped me make my goal of sub 4 hrs!”
