Eindhoven, October
ASML Marathon Eindhoven Pacing Plan
The first 14km follow the half-marathon course north from the city center; the marathon's own southern loop passes the High Tech Campus and Genneper Parken around the 30km mark — the toughest stretch, with little crowd support and often more wind — before the final kilometers pass Philips Stadium and finish on Vestdijk. Flat and wide throughout; the terrain itself barely varies (roughly 11-33m above sea level end to end).

KM 1-5 — The opening 5K is flat with a tailwind at your back, and it shows: paces of 5:10-5:18/km come easily, running slightly under your race average. Resist the urge to lean into anything faster than 5:15/km just because it feels free — you cross 5K at 26:16, and this early ease is wind assistance, not fitness in the bank. Run the effort, not the sensation.
KM 6-10 — Km9 and km10 flip you into a headwind and the free speed disappears. Hold 5:16-5:18/km through this stretch rather than chasing your earlier splits — you hit 10K at 52:39, and the wind is now working against you, not for you.
KM 11-12 — Km11 is the only real climb on the course (+1.1%) and it lands into a headwind, dropping you to 5:38/km — that's the terrain talking, not a fitness problem. Km12 falls away sharply (-1%) and pace snaps to 4:59/km; treat that as gravity giving pace back, not a green light to attack, and settle to 5:15-5:18/km again by km13.
