  • Quick start: Run the first kilometer slightly faster than goal pace to get into position
  • Settle in: Find your rhythm between 2–7 km at consistent goal pace
  • Push through: The 7–9 km mark is often the toughest — focus on maintaining pace
  • Sprint finish: Give everything you have in the final kilometer
