This time, though, I did deviate from my usual pacing strategy.Īlthough I am perfectly capable of running 13.1 miles without walking, I have been using the Jeff Galloway run/walk method during my long runs in my marathon training, implementing 3-4 minute run intervals with 30-second walk breaks. The goal is to help racers maintain an even effort and start conservatively, enabling them to run more efficiently. This strategy adjusts the pace based on the terrain, taking into account the uphills and downhills.
Rather than maintaining an even pace throughout each mile, we employ a "SmartPace" approach. Pacers like myself follow a meticulously crafted pacing strategy designed to provide racers with the best chance of running a great race. But this time, it was back to the pace range of 8:46 to 8:51 per mile to hit that coveted 1:55 finish time. The Stilly Half in Stillwater earlier this year was the exception, when I stepped in as the 2:00 pacer.
