The Marathon Pacing Strategy That Actually Beats the Negative Split

The golden rule of marathon pacing is the negative split. Start conservative, finish faster.

But is that really the ideal way to pace?  Maybe not.

You'll learn:

Why the negative split might not be the best way to pace a marathon,

How the course itself, flat or hilly, can trick you into pacing mistakes 

How to use your effort with your watch to know if you should push or hang on
