Mean data expressed as means ± SD. Data represents the half-marathon performance measures. Half-marathon projected race pace figures were calculated based upon subjects’ self-reported previous endurance running race performances. The overall MANOVA analysis revealed overall Wilks’ Lambda time (p <0.001) and group x time (p = 0.091). Univariate ANOVA p-levels from the MANOVA analysis are presented for both pacing variables. One-way ANOVA p-levels listed for each timing variable: * represents p <0.05 difference between groups
