Another Mother Runner

Running a Race with a Pacer

Whatever your goal, if you’ve ever considered using a pacer in a race, you need to listen to this episode. Host Sarah talks with four women (including co-host Amanda!) about their experiences (good and bad) running a race with a pace group. They discuss:
-various reasons to use a pacer;
-how to get the best results with a pace group; 
-different ways to utilize a pacer; and,
-why a race pacer isn’t necessarily a magical PR-maker. 
 
Sarah shares a quick story about a scummy swim before talking to Amanda about herpacer experiences at 5:35.
