Women runners are better than men at keeping even pace: why that helps and how they manage it
- New research shows women are 18.33 per cent better at keeping an even pace than men, likely to be a psychological edge over more ego-driven males
- Good pacing enables non-elite runners to perform better, achieve personal bests and feel a sense of achievement rather than a short-term adrenaline fix
