Pacing your first marathon can be tricky because those early miles often feel way easier than expected. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃 The goal is to stay controlled at the beginning, settle into an effort you’ve practiced in training, and save that extra push for later in the race if your body is still feeling strong. This guide is a good example of how you can approach the 26.2 miles without burning yourself out too early. But marathon pacing isn’t one-size-fits-all. Your training, experience, the course, weather, fueling, and how you feel on race day all play a role. Use this as a helpful starting point, but ultimately listen to your body and follow the pacing strategy that feels best for you. Your first marathon is a learning experience, so be patient with yourself and respect the distance. 💪💙 #Running #Run #Runner #Marathon #MarathonTraining
