You’ll never get the best score, or best time by going all-out, all the time. Each workout is different, and the better you are at learning your “gears,” the better you’ll be at managing your intensity.
There are many different ways to attack one workout. It’s imperative you continue to practice a variety of methods, so that you know what’s best for you when it matters most.  Also, there are different ways to strategize and prepare for workouts that will benefit you. The more willing you are to practice, and the more you learn, the better you’ll be.

There are a few things you can assess to come up with a pacing-strategy before a workout. Just know that you may have an idea about how to approach it. Then afterwards you’ll have more knowledge, and may believe that a different approach would’ve been more appropriate. That’s ok!

It’s not necessary that you bust out an Excel spreadsheet and calculator to strategize for every workout. In fact, most of the practice of pacing can be summed up with one question:
