I struggle a bit to boil down the recommendation from my own experience, as it might apply to others in a 100 (especially since most have a lot more running than Hardrock).
If I had to distill it and generalize it, I would start something like this:
- ALWAYS stay below the yellow line in a 100. That’s the pace where you can go all day, all night, and all day again.
- The yellow line is a lot slower than you think, and way slower than you’ll ever intuitively feel is right.
- You can validate you went easy enough early on when you can go just as fast in absolute pace (terrain adjusted) for the final 1/2 or 1/3 of the race.
