Marathon Pacing

Marathon pacing refers to the strategy of managing your speed during a marathon, a long-distance race of 26.2 miles (42.2 kilometers). It involves finding a balance between running fast enough to achieve your desired finish time while conserving energy to avoid exhaustion. Runners often use a consistent pace, measured in minutes per mile or kilometer, typically based on their training and fitness level. Effective pacing helps prevent burnout and allows for sustained performance throughout the race, ultimately contributing to a successful race experience and finishing time.
