The best I can explain it is go into the race thinking, "Okay, I'm about to race 5k," (or whatever distance you're racing) and try to spread the effort out as evenly as possible so that you just about collapse 1 foot past the finish line.
I have the opposite problem: how do you learn to embrace pain and just go with it?
