1. Don't go out too hard On the km 0.0-0.5 section at 7%, keep your effort under control so you have something left for the steeper stretches.
2. Make the most of the breather on km 0.5-1.0 At just 1% gradient, this section is your chance to drink, eat something and get your breath back before the 8% ramp that follows.
3. Save something for the finale Don't blow your matches on the 11% section between km 4.5 and 5.0. Keep your heart rate in check so you hit the final kilometre at 15% with enough left in the tank.
