endurance race pacing

Endurance race pacing involves managing your speed and energy throughout a long-distance event to avoid burnout and optimize performance. It requires balancing effort so you maintain a sustainable pace rather than starting too fast, which can lead to fatigue, or too slow, which may limit your overall time. Effective pacing considers factors like your fitness level, terrain, weather, and race goals. By evenly distributing effort and monitoring your heart rate or perceived exertion, you conserve energy for the entire race, helping you finish strong and with consistent performance from start to finish.
