Galloway Method/Magic Mile and Garmin

[nervous1sttimer]

If your race weather is not stifling and you manage pace well in the first 9 miles, you will break 2 hours.

Yay! You just made me so happy. What qualifies as managing pace well? Should I shoot to be on pace or slightly under? Should I just stick with the 1:55 pacers?

I think that if there is a 1:55 group, you may hit the first few miles too hard. I would shoot for splits in the 9:05-9:15 range for the first 9.

If you have gas after 9, bump it up 10-15 seconds a mile and celebrate a 1:59.
