Coaching Advice
Target time: Finish under 30:00
How to pace: Maintain a conversational pace, where you can speak a few sentences but not hold a full conversation.
How to be competitive: Focus on consistency and smooth pacing; aim to keep your body in a rhythmic motion without pushing too hard.
What you should feel: You should feel relaxed and energized during the run, with a slight breeze on your face. Post-run, expect to feel refreshed rather than fatigued.
Coach Note
