The Biomechanics and Psychology of Race Pacing
Lactic acid buildup and muscular fatigue scale exponentially when exceeding your anaerobic threshold. Even a minor pacing error in the first few kilometers of a half-marathon or marathon can trigger premature glycogen depletion (known as "bonking" or hitting the wall). Using a structured pacing table helps runners stay disciplined during the early kilometers when excitement and adrenaline tempt them to run too fast, protecting their skeletal muscles and energy systems for a strong finish.
