Target time / 3.2 miles (for safety) and have Current Pace (Pace) and Lap Pace (mile or km, doesn't matter which as long as you know the number) displaying. Lap Pace is an average so tells you if you need to go a bit quicker or slower. Current Pace is err, current pace, but fluctuates all over the shop, but it should tell you if you are a bit above or a bit below target. e.g. 28 min target / 3.2 miles = 8:45 pace. Start, and ignore it for a good minute or so, to let current pace settle down. Everyone will have hared off too fast anyway, good chance to slow down! ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() Finish with splits of 00:08:35 - 1 mile 00:08:38 - 1 mile 00:08:42 - 1 mile 00:01:44 - 0.2 For a total time of 0:27:39 and tea and biscuits all round ![]() ![]() |
