Words from Pete Pfitzinger

From Advanced Marathoning:

"Regardless of your ultimate finishing place in the marathon, you should realize that the second half is much harder than the first half; just try to get the first half out of the way at the correct pace without using anymore mental energy than necessary."

"On to 20 miles: Slowing during this portion of the marathon is often more a matter of not concentrating than of not being able to physically maintain the pace... the key is to have the confidence that you'll eventually overcome this bad patch."
