Crew and Pacer Strategies for Ultrarunning: Tips, Suggestions, and Everything You Need to Know

Having crew and pacers at an ultra can be an absolute gamechanger and, in my experience, will greatly increase your chances of success on race day.That’s because a good crew and pacer strategy will keep you moving strong, take a lot of the mental thinking off your plate in an ultra, and can get you everything you need without you doing extra work.

But how do you organize a well-rounded crew and strong pacers? And how can you maximize your use of crew and pacer to get the best results. And wait: where do you even FIND crew or pacer?

We cover all of those questions and much more in this episode!

Utilizing my experience both using crew and pacers, and also me being on the crew and pacing for elite athletes like Sally McRae and Scott Traer, I share everything you need to know to have a rock solid crew/pacing strategy for your next ultra.

I also share how to find the best crew/pacers (even if you don’t know any other runners), how to make sure your crew/pacers are aligned with your strategy, and how to know if a crew or pacers is even necessary for your race!

Thank you so much for listening to the episode!
