Stop Hitting the Wall. Do This Instead.

Hitting the wall isn't bad luck and it isn't your fitness. It's pacing. In this video I show you how to stop blowing up and run the race your training actually earned. Two runners, two first marathons. Robin paced it beautifully and ran 3:15 for a Boston Qualifier. Meredith went out over threshold and the wheels came off at mile 15. I put their real pace and heart rate data side by side so you can see the difference, then I give you the fix. What you'll learn: . Why Robin's heart rate curve is damn near perfect. A gradual climb, held to mile 20, then a kick to the line. . The dead simple trick she used. One number, her 5K split, written on her arm. No mid race math. . Where Meredith's race fell apart. Heart rate at threshold by mile 5, glycogen gone, legs cooked. . The threshold rule that keeps you out of trouble. Don't touch your one hour heart rate until after mile 20. . How I pace my own races and coach my athletes. Marathon pace long runs, effort, breathing, and reading your watch. . The fuel math nobody explains. Go out easy and you save your glycogen. Go out hot and you torch it, then you hit the wall. Execution is the goal. A well paced, well fueled marathon is the win, and the time is just your reward. Don't spend months training just to ruin it in the first mile. Most runners can't pass this test. Can you?
