I always tell everyone I train:
PACE YOURSELF. Whether you’re an elite level athlete or you’re a beginner to
fitness, you always want to pace yourself. Obviously you want to run fast, but
you need to sustain your effort level. My general rule of thumb is to have no
more than a 3 sec difference between your fastest lap and your slowest lap.
Five seconds is still acceptable, but once you start getting beyond that you
will experience difficulty by the end of the test.
If the first lap or two feel
easy, stick with that pace. By the time you hit lap 4 or 5, your effort level
is going to be higher for the same pace. I would prefer that you pick up your
pace in the latter half of your run then to go fast and sputter by the end.
