Why do you pace?

Tell us your best pacing experience.

Every pace event when the runners pull ahead the last couple of miles and say thanks.

Why should someone run in your pace group?

I keep it loose and tell jokes. Also, help runners realize that you don’t have to be young and 5% body fat to set and achieve racing goals.

Any tips for runners about to join your group?

Set a realistic goal based on weekly mileage.  Many runners are too optimistic on pace when running insufficient weekly miles.  On a positive note, encourage runners in the last few miles to run ahead and challenge themselves down the stretch.
