Any suggestions on how to work pacing?
intervals did the trick for me. try 1 km faster than comfortable, alternating with 1 km slower than normal. or do it by time instead, e.g. 2-3 minutes on, 2-3 minutes off. i'm sure there's some sciencey reason behind it, but for me I'm convinced part of it was just getting accustomed to torture.
