Remember Huey Mahl: It takes TWO units of energy LATE to make up for ONE lost early.

If the pace is EASY early, there is much more left in the tank so the energy distribution becomes ABNORMALLY LATER than usual without a first and 2nd call challenge.

Remember the old challenge. Run around your block and have someone time the last 200 yards only. Run the first time at your own pace and the 2nd time (after a rest) have a FIT 16 year old push you hard early.

Which of the two timings will be faster? the FORMER of course. Just like a slow pace early skews normality.
