The most important concept of all in long distance running is undoubtedly pacing. Learn to control your pace and you will control your race.

You’ll learn:

a universal strategy to pace your workouts and races
how pacing can be applied to strength training and nutrition, and
how this same strategy can be applied to your long term running goals and even the rest of your life.

I am not exaggerating when I say that pacing is a fundamental concept that has the power to improve everything in your running and perhaps even your life. After I explain how, you might just wonder why you haven’t thought of it before.

I’ve struggled with running and injuries for so many years and now starting to learn, run slow to run fast. It’s a concept that is hard to accept but your podcasts keep it a constant reminder for me. Each episode is the perfect amount of time for a busy mom. Thank you for the advice and support to keep on track!
