Half Marathon Pacing Chart
“1/4/8” Method
Compiled by Mark Lorenzoni
(Leah's coach from the Charlottesville Track Club)
Please note that, if you follow the “1/4/8” pacing regimen, you should be in “control” at mile 9, therefore, feeling good enough to pick it up quite a bit over the last 5 miles. Remember: do NOT warm up prior to the start of the race…instead, use the first mile as your “warm up” .
