How to find the right race pace<\/h1>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n\t

Are you gearing up for a race you\u2019ve been training months for, hoping to set a personal best? Going out too fast is a definite no, but holding back too much isn\u2019t ideal either. So, how do you determine the right pace?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Thijs Dekiere, physical coach at Golazo Energy, explains: \u201cEverything starts with setting a realistic target time based on your previous races or training sessions. If you\u2019re aiming to beat your personal best on the 10K, try testing yourself in training with intervals just slightly faster than your desired 10K pace. Break them into 8 to 10 repetitions of 1,000 metres. If you find this pace too challenging during training, it\u2019s time to reassess your race-day ambitions.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

You could also opt for a test race, such as running a half marathon at marathon pace or slightly faster. Thijs continues: \u201cIf you\u2019re already hitting your limit during those 21 km, it\u2019s unlikely you\u2019ll manage a marathon at that same pace six to eight weeks later.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

There are also theoretical tools to predict performance over different distances, like formulas or lactate tests. Based on your anaerobic threshold pace (the speed you can maintain for about an hour), you can estimate your potential finish time. Of course, your race-day performance will also depend on your physical condition and external factors, like weather and course conditions.<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n

\n\t

From goal to race plan<\/h2>\n\t
\n\t\t
\n\t\t\t

Once you\u2019ve set a realistic goal, the next step is creating a race plan. Ideally, you\u2019ll aim for an even pace or a negative split<\/strong>\u2014running the second half of the race faster than the first.<\/p>\n

Thijs explains: \u201cScientific research shows that a negative split is the most effective strategy.<\/strong> It helps you avoid burning out early. If your goal is to finish a marathon in under four hours, you should start at an average pace of 5:40 per kilometre and maintain that pace throughout the 42 km.<\/p>\n

Many runners make the mistake of starting too quickly, running the first 20\u201330 km at 10 to 30 seconds per kilometre faster than planned. While they might gain a seven-minute lead initially, they often face cramps or energy crashes later, leading to stretching breaks or walking. This can cost them one or two minutes per kilometre, putting their sub-four-hour goal out of reach. Sticking to your target pace from the start conserves your energy reserves and increases the likelihood of maintaining a steady pace until the finish line. And yes, it will feel tough from kilometre 35 onwards\u2014there\u2019s no avoiding that.\u201d<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

\n\t\t\t

Save your push for later:<\/strong> Even if you\u2019re feeling good, resist the urge to push the pace too soon. Thijs advises: \u201cIn a marathon, I recommend running at a comfortable pace until at least the 30 km mark. That\u2019s when most runners start struggling. Elite runners from Ethiopia and Kenya often wait until kilometre 38 or 39 to launch their final push. Instead of risking a premature acceleration, aim for a safe, sustained sprint at the end.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/div>\n<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t\t\t

A little faster, a little slower<\/strong><\/h2>\n

At major events, you don\u2019t have to monitor your pace alone. Simply follow pacers aiming for your target time.<\/strong> Thijs explains: \u201cA good pacer maintains an even pace and knows the course inside out, helping to navigate typical challenges. For example, on a hilly course, a strong pacer will slightly increase the speed on downhill sections, as it requires less effort, and slow down uphill to avoid pushing runners into the red zone.
\nThe same applies to headwinds and tailwinds. Pacers may also pick up the pace slightly before an aid station, allowing runners to eat and drink without losing too much time.\u201d<\/p>\n

Thijs suggests adopting similar tactics yourself: \u201cTry to gain 10 seconds per kilometre before an aid station. That way, you can comfortably refuel and still maintain your average pace afterwards.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t<\/section>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\t
