What is the difference between his running halfway in compared to the end of the marathon?
The biggest differences are sometimes the one’s that you can’t see.
It actually has to do with his force generation.
For context, midway through the race, he this is one of his faster paces at 4:31 min/mile or 2:48 min/km. *This is more of an estimate as that was the split for 25km. The split for 30km was 4:37 min/mile*
Toward the end, this is actually him fatiguing with slower paces at 5:02 min/mile or 3:08 min/km.
His cadence is not much different in either clip (187 spm vs. 185 spm) which means that the force generation is different.
Midway through the race, he covers 1.91 meters per step compared to the end where it is 1.73 meters per step. This is roughly a 10% drop in force generation.
This is typically what happens with fatigue.
However, despite being in a fatigued state, you don’t see him flailing all around and abandoning his technique.
He still maintains his composure.-
