A flat course that rewards steady pacing

To prepare for the Florence Marathon, build a 12 to 16-week plan focused on pacing: the flat course punishes starting out too fast. Pacers will support you from 2:55 to 6:00. The Florence Marathon starts at 8:30 a.m. in late November, often below 10°C (50°F): test your outfit on a long run. Compare it with the other marathons in Italy.
