Pacing tips:
1. Don't go out too fast on the initial 7%. Settle into a sustainable rhythm from KM 0.0-0.5 so you don't burn through your reserves before the middle section.
2. Hold a steady rhythm between 4% and 5%. From KM 1.0-1.5 to KM 3.0-3.5, keep a constant cadence and use the 4% stretches to recover a little.
3. Save something for the last kilometre. KM 3.5-4.0, at 4%, is manageable: this is the time to lift the pace slightly and finish strong.
