Yeah, max effort racing once you're well trained is basically doing math based on your training data to estimate your physical limit, and then spending the majority of the race in agony, telling yourself whatever is necessary to avoid slowing down to hit that limit.

If part of you isn't wishing for death by the halfway mark of a 5k race, you've probaly left time on the table.
