What we talk about

  • Building habits and consistency is a great way to improve performance—your body will start to feel that as a natural pace, and you’ll be able to step it up over time.

  • Running consistently beats running perfectly—if you run a consistent race, you will actually run a perfect race because you won’t have the ups and downs where you get lots of fatigue or soreness along the way.

  • You can program your watch with your target pace, so if you go too fast or too slow, it will beep at you—taking the guesswork out of pacing and helping you stay consistent.
