Percorso Camoscio

Race strategy

Short race: go all out.

• Hold your race pace up to 7.6km, but stay in control.
• Ease into the early runnable section, then run your race pace, and go all out on the final descent from 7.6km.
• Start · 0.0km–2.4km · Race-day nerves push your heart rate up: don't follow the crowd, find your own rhythm.
• Work · 2.4km–7.6km · Climb of 221m, high point 1797m. This is where the race is built: steady, solid effort. Climb by heart rate or breathing, not pace. Running pays off here: run wherever you can.
• Home · 7.6km–9.9km · Descent of 273m averaging 12%. Kick for the line: give it everything you've got.
