About this episode
Training paces and race paces are correlated, but they do represent separate and distinct decisions on the path to your goal. In this episode, I talk about 6 factors to consider when choosing your race pace - purpose, experience, race history, training results, risk tolerance, and of course, the conditions on the day. Consider these factors, and then once you lock in a target, develop a race plan around it, put the blinders on, and go for it!
