Key Takeaways 1. The first two minutes lie to you. Your body has a short burst energy system that makes the start of a race feel easy. When it runs out a few minutes later, you crash hard unless you held back. 2. Do the 30-second body check during any run. Use the talk test, breathing rhythm, and "too easy" feeling to know if you're pacing right before it's too late. 3. Race pace repeats fix bad pacing for good. Run one kilometer at your goal pace, rest three minutes, repeat five times. Your legs and brain learn what right feels like so race day isn't a guess.
