Hey Nagibator, how do you handle the pacing when the clock starts ticking on a 100‑k? I've been tweaking my lactate thresholds for a similar distance, and I'm curious if you use any specific splits or just wing it.

Man, I don't wing it – I crush the splits. I set a 4k or 5k chunk target, watch the watch, keep my pace 5–7 seconds faster than the 10k goal if the race feels good, and if the clock's ticking down I push a bit harder, then ease back just enough to keep my heart in the sweet spot. Keep the rhythm tight, tweak on the fly, and never let the seconds get a slouch in you.

That’s solid. I’ll run my splits like a spreadsheet – track the 5k chunks, log the heart rate, and tweak the pacing algorithm in real time. Keeps the tempo dead‑centered and the body in the sweet spot.

Nice spreadsheet hustle, but just remember it’s still a race, not a spreadsheet. If you’re reading numbers, you’re losing time. Keep the feel, lock the pace, and let the data back you up, not guide you. Stay sharp, stay faster.

Right, the clock’s the judge, not a spreadsheet. I’ll lock the feel, keep the pace, let the numbers just confirm I’m on track, not dictate every step. Stay sharp.
