Exercise #sciencesnack #045 - Marathonpacing

..I'm back with another #sciencesnack. Anyone preparing for a marathon must consider not only training, nutrition, footwear, and other factors, but also the desired race pace, which is also known as a "pacing strategy." Even? A cautious start? A final sprint at the end? And when does the "man with the hammer" come in? - What do the studies say about this? Helpful tips can be found in the analysis of a Spanish working group that focused on the Valencia Marathon. Here is the study: Latorre-Román et al. (2025) Eur J Sport Sci: Influence of Sex, Athletic Category and Athletic Level on Marathon Pacing Strategy: An Analysis of the Trinidad Alfonso EDP Valencia Marathon From 2014 to 2023 https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/40531...
