I can’t remember if it came from here but I try to stick with the following to help my pacing and not blow up..
1st 3rd .. run with your head (don’t let yourself get carried-away even if you feel strong, stick to the plan)
Middle 3rd .. run with your legs (open it up a bit if you’re feeling good)
Final 3rd .. run with your heart (or stomach.. I just try to stay the right side of puking up)
Having said all that, it’s likely all out the window as soon as the gun goes.. just try to enjoy it.
