    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:
