Pacing is one of the most important aspects of running, yet many runners— especially beginners—fall into the trap of running full speed on every run, thinking it will yield the best results. Spoiler: it won’t!
James explains the importance of pacing and breaks down the different run paces, how they impact your training, and when to use each one. Whether you’re training for your first 5K or a marathon, understanding pacing can make all the difference. Run smarter, not harder! 🏃♂️✨
