Posted by Pacing yourself properly during a marathon takes practice and training, but generally the first half of the race should be run at a slightly slower pace than the second half. Learn the tricks to marathon pacing with advice from a competitive runner in this free video on running marathons.
Thanks for all the useful info Beth! I’ve checked out most of your marathon related videos, and found them all helpful. I have a question about the walk breaks. Is that going to help more mentally, or physically? Are their a lot of runners that take walk breaks? Thanks!
ideally i’d say you want to run the whole thing with no walking.
