Tell your best pacing experience |
I have a lot of great pacing experiences…… One time I was sweeping a Half marathon and the runner I was helping along dropped out due to an injury, so I got her a ride. I started running to catch up with the new last runner when I came to a runner who was doing the full marathon and she was struggling. I ran with her the last 6 miles keeping her going. When she crossed the finished line, she thanked me for helping her because she wouldn’t have made it with out my help and encouragement. |
