If you want to be successful in your marathon running, then you need to know how to run at the correct pace.  Never run too fast at the start because soon you will hit the wall and you will be too tired to make it to the finish line.  If you start too slow, yes, you can finish the race but you will be left wondering how much better you could have run in the race.  So you have to start somewhere in the middle of these two extremes, the perfect pace.
