OK .. here we go .. the standard practised race strategy
jump out quick the first 100m to get yourself a good position, so you don't have to get caught behind slow runners who have started too fast
then settle into a rhythm according to race pace, this is important, you must get the balance and pace right
then from the 1k mark, look to run even splits according to the target time you looking for. Take it 1k at a time and don't try make up time, but look to run each km on target
from the 7km you have to start working and your last km should be as fast as your first km
please ask questions
