pacing is a hard thing to learn, you saw first hand how going out faster than I should have at QC and how it affected me over the last kilos. On the other hand I know you noticed the first woman as she blazed past our murder. Historically woman run very smart and pace even or run negative splits. Its interesting to me that she's the only one who ran negative splits out of of anyone in the top 20. Besides training the single best bit of advice all runners should practice is patience.
