This article looks low quality

This article is not written according to Wikipedia's guidelines and it seems biased. Awesomecat713 (talk) 17:21, 24 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. Additionally:

- The tone of writing is informal, and much of the page is, in my opinion, written poorly.

- The Threshold Pacing section is before the table of contents?

- The article reads like a mix of the Simple English Wikipedia and running lingo. Killaship || Nerding around the internet since 2017! (talk) 01:13, 20 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I agree as well. The writing is personal, makes wide statements not backed by evidence (e.g., the first sentence, "Pacing is a part of everyday life" -- this is 1. ambiguous ("pacing" can refer to setting a set speed, or can refer to the act of walking back and forth) and 2. as stated before, not backed by evidence. The rest of the article follows a similar style of writing which is not up to Wikipedia quality standards.

The article sections are also improperly divided in the first half. The bolded text "Pacing strategies in track and field" is in-line with its section and the first sentence uses the section header as a component, whereas the other sections do not.

While this article is informative, it is startlingly bad regarding writing quality, in my opinion. 2601:602:8B01:F700:4C16:BA32:61B4:3A2D (talk) 04:25, 6 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
