I think the professor gave a very good answer to the initial question. There is only comment...... usually the proportionate adjustment to pace will work well, but when there are strong winds that type of adjustment can be quite inaccurate. Therefore, establishing pace pars can be as or more important than final time/speed pars. When you see race after race go 23 1/5 47 2/5 112 there was likely a significant head wind on the backstretch.
