Explain Race Day Pacing Strategy for My Goal
You've trained hard and you don't want to wreck it by going out too fast in the first mile. Give it your distance, goal time, recent paces, the course profile and the forecast, and this explains a pacing plan: even versus negative split, and how to adjust for hills and weather so you finish near your target instead of crawling. The plan for the day itself.
<context>
