Pacing is a science

Even on a flat course under perfect conditions – getting your pacing strategy right is hard. Throw hills, heat, air humidity, altitude and different surface types into the mix and you'll have the recipe for fluctuating heart rate, accumulation of lactate acid and a bad experience.

Temperature.
High heat can cause your running pace to slow down as your body expends more energy regulating its temperature, leading to increased fatigue and reduced speed.
Altitude.
Running at high altitudes can often lead to a slower pace due to the decreased oxygen levels, which can result in increased fatigue and reduced aerobic capacity.
Hills.
Hills can have a significant impact on your running pace, as running uphill typically slows you down due to increased resistance and effort, while downhill segments may speed you up but could lead to greater impact on your joints.
Surface types.
The type of running surface you choose can notably influence your pace, with softer surfaces like grass or trails potentially slowing you down due to increased resistance, while harder surfaces like pavement can help you maintain a faster pace.
Air humidity.
High air humidity can hinder your running pace by making it harder for your body to cool down through sweating, leading to increased discomfort and potential performance reduction.
Wind.
Wind can either assist or hinder your running pace; a tailwind can provide a speed boost, while a headwind can slow you down, affecting your overall performance and effort required.
