With Irish Life Dublin Marathon and TCS New York City Marathon fast approaching, here are six suggestions to help recreational runners run their best race, based on an analysis of more than 4 million marathons. #marathon #running #DataScience medium.com/running-with-d…

6 ways to run your best marathon according to the data: taper carefully; avoid fast starts; neg splits are not always best; run with pacers; don’t bank on a fast finish; be careful of the wall especially when chasing a PB.

I hope this doesn’t come to pass Irish Life Dublin Marathon. Not clear that another city centre location will improve the disruption either. I hope people come to recognise that the pros greatly outweigh the cons for the runners and their supporters. balls.ie/athletics/dubl… via Balls.ie
