To build a more even profile: cap early miles around 10:5011:10/mi, avoid sub9 spikes, and target steady effort. Use long runs with the last 68 miles at goal pace, plus marathonpace intervals (e.g., 3x3 mi at 10:5511:05 with 1 mi easy). Practice split checks every 35 miles to keep drift under 2030 sec/mi.
