Thanks for this explanation. I'm a newbie runner -- been running for a year-and-a-half.
I'm aiming to break the 2hr mark in my 3rd half-marathon next month. My last half-m in Oct 2022 took 2hr9min. I know, 9 minutes is a lot to shave off :-). I'll first aim to finish healthily.
Your message encourages me to join a pacer. (The last 5KM of a half-m feel endless.)
