Pacing Strategy:

KR Krishnakumar

Pacing Strategy:

My aim is to enable people who are 60 years plus to finish HM in 2:45 without injuries while ensuring an early recovery. This approach would suit runners who are younger too. This will have 3 stages –

1. 10 mins pre run stretches.

2. First 500m will be warm up followed by steady pace of 7:45-7:30. Each lap of 2k will have 15s for hydration, stretches, regrouping, slow down and restart. Post 12k, increasingly additional time is kept for each lap. 5 mins of buffer time is kept in 2:45.

3. 10 mins of post run stretches.

Keyar Srinivasan

Pacing Strategy:

My pacing strategy for the 2:10 Half Marathon bus will be to maintain a steady and consistent pace throughout the race. It will be even splits right from the start, focusing on controlled effort, smooth rhythm, and steady momentum to help runners achieve their goal without unnecessary surges or burnout. The idea is to stay positive, encourage each other, and make sure everyone crosses the finish line feeling strong and accomplished!
