How to pace your next marathon

Building on a very popular Twitter thread (https://x.com/Dan_Nash94/status/1797744471565574604),Dan & Owain discuss marathon pacing. First, an overview of some of the physiology that you'll be contending with during a marathon - especially if you go out too fast! Dan & Owain then discuss the pacing plan Dan has utilised in recent marathons, and how you could go about doing the same yourself. Let us know if you've used a similar physiological anchoring method for a marathon and how you got on! Owain is also recruiting for a research study looking at hot baths and EPO, which will be a future podcast topic too - if you're interested in taking part more information is here: https://many.bio/EPOStudy
