2. Anticipate the change of rhythm: As you approach KM 1.0, get ready mentally and physically for a hard effort. Shift down to an easier gear early, before the ramp kicks up.
3. Make the most of the final stretch: The gradient eases to 5% over the last 500 metres. Use this section to get your breathing back under control, then gradually pick up the pace if you still have legs left.
