If you still want to do a bit of work on your pace strategy for race day, check out our handy running pace calculator halfway down the page:
One of the great features that comes with Polar running watches is “race pace”. This is a simple tool that allows you to plug in your target time and distance. Your pacing goals are then automatically created giving you a simple dashboard to glance at during your run to track your pace and how much distance you have left to cover.
This helps you to not fall into the trap of starting out too hard, but also helps you stick to your plan throughout the run so you can just focus on the running and what’s ahead of you. You can also set up a fueling plan and hydration reminders as well.
Check out the top four essentials you must be tracking during your runs:
For the past four decades, we have spent every day in search of undeniable truths about the human body. Why?
Because we are pioneers. Since 1977 we’ve been building wearable devices to help improve people’s personal guides for their fitness, sport and health.
Because we’re passionate. We simply want to help people understand their body better, improve their happiness, and live a happier life. We do this through our running watches, heart rate monitors, ecosystem (Polar Flow) and content.
We’ve worked with our experts to help support the Village Roadshow Theme Parks Gold Coast Marathon to help bring you the best content to support your running journey.
