Tell us your best pacing experience.
|
While I am still a “newer” pacer, at the Tunnel Lite Marathon in Washington, a group that I was running with experienced confusion after exiting the main tunnel. All the GPS watches were completely useless. I turned my watch off and on to reset it. At the next mile marker, I restarted it. This had a TREMENDOUSLY stabilizing effect. The people w/ me and I all PRed. |

Why should someone run in your pace group?
|
When I first got out of college, I served as a teacher in the Peace Corps for 2 years. I learned that I had a knack for helping students achieve their best. I’ve found the same thing to be true in running. |

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

While it can be intimidating to run with a group, it is TOTALLY the way to go. The energy of the group helps everyone succeed! |
