Well, yes, indeed that was very interesting. So, effectively Professor Smyth is saying we should deliberately start a race too fast (but only by about 4%) and gradually slow down until we finish it at about 4% below our PB pace, because that is what happens generally anyhow among athletes who set PBs.
Well, given that it is incredibly difficult to run evenly paced splits through a long race such as a marathon anyhow, I'd say this might be worth a go, as it would at least have the positive psychological benefit of knowing that from the get-go you can afford to slow down and still run a PB, rather than the opposite.
Hmm, yes, I think I might try this.
