Run Races. Get Paced.
You trained (kind of). You tapered (by skipping workouts). Now, race day is approaching, and you need one thing: someone to make sure you don’t blow up.
Whether you’re chasing a PR, a BQ, or just trying to survive the ridiculous ultra that you signed up to in order to impress your ex, a personal pacer can be the difference between glory and a spectacular meltdown.
Having Cory as my pacer at Western States was worth every dollar that I paid! He was great at reminding me to eat, and made me feel comfortable even while I puked at the aid station.
