Watch me act as a pacesetter for my friend Paul as he finishes the 2021 Georgia Jewel 100 mile race.
Pacing in ultramarathon racing is not only about how fast a runner runs, but it is also a volunteer role often filled by friends, family and crew members who help a racer.
The pacer helps a runner get to the finish safely, and ideally within the target time, whether that is in first place or before crossing the line.
In this video I give my do's and don'ts for pacers during an ultramarathon. Four things you shouldn't do. Five things to do. And two bonus items to ensure your runner goes above and beyond.
The most important things are safety, motivation and pace. Keep those things in mind and everything will be fine.
Let me know in the comments your best tips and strategies for pacing an ultramarathoner.
