Pacing is King - Crush Most Fitness Tests When You Master PACE

Stew Smith discusses PACING. 

When military members and others in the tactical professions first take fitness tests, they tend to forego pacing and put 100% sprinting effort into every event. In a fitness test that requires 2-minute sets of pushups, sit-ups, and pullups (calisthenics) and any run distance over a mile, the idea that you can go 100% is wrong because if you do, you will likely burnout and not finish the time or distance.  If you want to score at your 100% maximum capacity, you must learn about pacing and getting in shape to maintain a certain pace. This goes for activities such as sit-ups, running, and swimming.  Check out the articles mentioned in the video:
