Whether you’re getting ready for the Flying Pig, the Heart Mini or another of Greater Cincinnati’s fun races coming up this spring, you know the way you start has a big impact on how you finish.
If you start too fast, you can burn out quickly and run out of steam halfway through the race. But, start too slow and you’ll miss your goal time. If your race starts with a big hill you’re unprepared to face, it may take a couple of miles to get back on your race plan.
