How to Pace a Marathon (And Not Blow Up at Mile 20)

Описание: If your marathon plan doesn’t include a pacing strategy—you don’t have a plan, you have a prayer.

This video walks you through how to pace your marathon the way I teach my 1-on-1 athletes: how to choose your pace, how to train it, how to hold it when it hurts, and what to do when your GPS goes full liar-mode on race day.
