Hi Scott,
Many thanks for your explanation above. It is much appreciated! It’s good to know that pacing longer ultras is tough even for the pros and that the HR drift is not uncommon. I think that what makes it difficult is wanting to know that you’ve given everything and ran as hard as you could rather than coasting, which requires a very fine line between going too hard and pacing ‘just right’.
Next year’s aim will be some heat acllimation prior to the race together with maybe a slower start and some time targets for the race sections based on recces. Whether I have the self dicipline to maintain a seemingly stumblingly slow start pace is another matter and is yet to be seen!
Thanks as always for your continued sharing of your knowledge!
Regards,
Mike
