Race Pace Suggestion? (Read 853 times)

Looks like you backed off a bit too much in miles 3 and 4, since you were able to finish so fast in the last mile. That's normal--and awesome that you finished so strong. One thing that helps me mentally at that point in the race is to try not imagine the future suffering that I might be in, but just to deal with the present suffering. It's that future pain that's the scary stuff, and it usually turns out to be not quite as bad as imagined.
