⚡ CalcWolf Insight

The golden rule of racing: never start faster than your target pace. Most marathoners who blow up after mile 18-20 went out too fast in the first half. Negative splitting (running the second half faster than the first) produces the best marathon results — aim for even pace or 10-15 seconds per mile slower in the first half.
