About this episode
Whatever your goal, if you are considering using a pacer in a race, you need to listen to this episode. Host Sarah Bowen Shea talks with four women (including co-host Amanda Loudin!) 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 her pacer experiences at about 6:11. This episode originally aired on September 30, 2022.
