race pacing

Race pacing refers to the strategy of managing your speed and effort during a race to maximize performance. It involves finding the right balance between going fast enough to be competitive while conserving enough energy to maintain stamina throughout the race. Effective pacing can help avoid fatigue or burnout, ensuring that athletes finish strong. Runners, cyclists, and other competitors often plan their pacing based on distance, terrain, and their physical condition, using tools like heart rate monitors or tempo runs to gauge and adjust their speed accordingly as the race progresses.
