Presets
Race pace is simply your goal time divided by the distance, but how you distribute it matters. A negative split — starting conservatively and finishing faster — is how nearly every marathon world record is run, because going out too hard burns glycogen and invites the dreaded wall. Even pacing is the safe default.

Governing equation
Reading this result: Even pacing holds 5:41/km the whole way — the safe default, since pace is simply goal time (240 min) divided by distance (42.2 km).
