In the end over a marathon this approach probably works best - because then your form and pace doesn't break down near the end - keeping your running efficiently the whole race. I'm curious as to how your new approach goes in a stand alone marathon - don't try it this weekend! haha Good luck on the back to back marathons! <br /><br />I've only done 2 half marathons (both negative split), and 1 marathon (slower on 2nd half). So next one I do I'm definitely going to try to start slower at first. <br /><br />And yea, I guess being injured me that no one really cares how fast you do a race. Why would they? My feeling is that as long as you gave your best out there (or whatever you wanted to do), that is all you can do. So keep posting your race results, I like reading them!Nellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11613262056157769496noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1963402677916553399.post-7941167344140172362011-10-13T22:13:06.732-05:002011-10-13T22:13:06.732-05:00Good luck!
