|
Tell us your best
pacing experience.

Actually was in an informal group at the Philadelphia Distance Run with my 2
training partners: 3 guys committed to running through 10 miles at 5:55 pace,
then we were free to split up. I lead
us through 10 right on pace and we all set PR’s that day. Learned a valuable lesson here about
staying on pace and the strength of a group working towards a common
goal. There are highs and lows in every
long race….but the group sees you through.

|
Why should someone run
in your pace group?
|
I will hit the splits and deliver you on time, hopefully only to
watch you pass me at mile 25 as you cruise in and hit your goal.

|
|
Any tips for runners
about to join your group?
|
Relax, let me do some of the thinking for you, it will make your
day more enjoyable. We will have a
clear plan of what pace we are running, what we are doing at water stops,
etc. All you have to do is join the
group and stay in the group and you will hit your mark.

|
Anything else you’d
like to share?
|
Calculating splits can get difficult in the later stages of a
marathon (or any race) so run with me and you won’t have to do complex math
while trying to take in calories, hydrate and run simultaneously.
