Is your next race hosting pace groups for athletes to achieve specific finish times? Are you thinking about running with a pace group at your next race? If so then this podcast will outline some of the things to be aware of with pace groups in races. I talk about factors that affect success of pacers and running with a pace group as well as mental aspects of running in groups. For some athletes pace groups are a great way to target a goal and for others they may perform better running their own race.

I cover some things to think about when doing so for the first times and about making a plan to get out there.
