    The Pacing Guide

    How I teach athletes to pace anything from a 500m to a half marathon without blowing up before the end, and how to read the monitor while you do it. There's a practice session and a race plan builder in there too.

    What's inside

    1. 1The one rule for every piece, and the four ways to pace a 2k.
    2. 2How to pace a 500m, a 1k, a 5k or 6k, a 10k and a half marathon.
    3. 3Reading the monitor, the common mistakes, a practice session and a plan you can build for your next test.

    The one rule

    • The first 500 should feel too easy. If it feels right, it's too fast.
    • On a 2k: first 500 close to the average, middle two just slower, last 500 your quickest.
