A race is the worst time to run your longest distance. By running the race
distance (or longer) prior to a race, you're giving your body (and mind)
notice that they will be called upon to go that far. So if you extend your
long run to 26 miles or more, and run the race at the pace you've trained
for, you can avoid encountering, much less hitting, the wall. (Breaking
the race into two runs in morning and evening doesn't do the job, since you
need the sustained effort without any total rest breaks.)
