That’s the moment when your mind tells you to quit. There is a term in the marathon called “hitting the wall.” When you hit the wall, your body runs out of fuel, every step feels heavy, and you feel as though you can no longer move forward.

Plan long-term, not just how to overtake the runner in front of you, but how you are going to outlast your competitors. “Staying with the pack” is important start strong and steady, don’t make drastic unreasonable moves, just make sure you are within sight of the leading pack. The initial lead (ie early overall rank) doesn’t really matter you can start as strong as you want (with a sprint) but if you fail to sustain it, you will be just like the early leaders who ran out of gas eventually. There is so much we can learn from Kipchoge, and from the marathon. That extra push helps him break away from the pack, extending his lead more and more with each mile, then calmly finishing ahead of other competitors, convincingly winning. The final quarter of the race is the time when he decides “how to win.” At this stage, everyone is tired, mentally and physically, but as a champion, he always has that extra push that others don’t. The strategy for him is to always run with the pack for the first 75% of the race or so, going at a steady but consistent pace, sizing up his opponents and potential threats, staying mentally strong and focused. He might have the ability to break away right at the beginning, but he never does so.
Take the best marathoner of all time, Eliud Kipchoge, as an example. Of course, there will be some runners who try to distance themselves from the pack from the start, sprinting away at the beginning, but the pack almost always catches up with them, and they eventually get overtaken after they run out of gas.Īlso, there will be some runners from the pack who fail to keep pace and eventually fall behind some even quit the race entirely due to injury, fatigue, or loss of motivation.Ī good marathoner, just like a good FPL player, always tries to stay with the pack from the start. The pack usually stays together for the first three-quarters of the race, and the winner usually is from that pack itself. If you watch some of the world’s major marathons, you will see that elite runners usually form a pack from the beginning – this is a group of 10-20 runners, sometimes more, that leads the race from the start.Ī marathon is a 26.2-mile race. I guess it’s very common nowadays to hear people using the quote, “FPL is a marathon, not a sprint.” As a marathon runner myself, the old cliche actually rings true.
