Kim & Carolyn | Use of Pacers: Road vs. Trail Running

Inspired Soles

We’ve talked a lot about pacing strategies on the show and how to pace yourself well throughout a race. But what about the role of a pacer? What is a pacer and why would you want to ask someone to pace you? What does it take to be a good pacer and how do you go about choosing one? What are the rules and etiquette when it comes to pacers and what types of challenges do they face? We discuss these topics and more as we explore how the use of a pacer and the act of being a pacer differs between road and trail.
