Why do you pace?
|
It’s inspirational to watch people finish their first marathon
or half, or to achieve a PR
|
|
|
Tell us your best
pacing experience.
|
A woman finished her first half marathon and started to cry. I
gave her the pace stick and she insisted I be in a photo with her
family. I’ve had people come up to me
at other races and say “You helped me through the half marathon last year”

Why should someone run
in your pace group?
|
I’m a good natural pacer and like to talk. Since I’ve been running in the area a long
time I get a lot of support from the spectators.

Any tips for runners
about to join your group?
|
If you have to choose between 2 pace groups, pick the slower
one. You can always pick up the pace
if you’re feeling good. Don’t eat,
drink, wear or do anything different from your usual routine the night before
the race. Stop at the first 4-5 water
stations even if you don’t feel thirsty.
