🏃♂️Proper warm-up is crucial in a marathon to prepare your body and avoid burning excess glycogen.
⏰Running even throughout the race helps conserve energy and prevent hitting the wall.
💪Running faster than goal marathon pace increases mechanical stress and muscular damage.
⚖️Avoid banking time early in the race and focus on running evenly to avoid depleting glycogen stores.
🧠Regularly train at goal marathon pace to improve neuromuscular familiarity and execute the pace on race day.
What is the importance of warming up before a marathon?
—Warming up properly prepares your body for the race and helps avoid burning excess glycogen early on.
Why should I run even throughout the marathon?
—Running even helps conserve energy and prevents hitting the wall later in the race.
Does running faster than marathon pace have any negative effects?
—Running faster than marathon pace increases mechanical stress and muscular damage.
Should I bank time at the beginning of the marathon?
—No, banking time early in the race depletes glycogen stores and can lead to a performance decline later.
How can I improve my pacing in a marathon?
—Train regularly at your goal marathon pace to improve neuromuscular familiarity and execute the pace on race day.
