Parkrunning the world<br />

GoodGym announced their partnership with Parkrun in September last year. It was all over the running world news<br />

and the RaceTeam were quick to jump on the opportunity to help Parkrun an dour own lovely racers by offering to<br />

pace at different Parkrun events. Parkrun event directors are now coming to us to ask for pacing! Now isn’t that<br />

neat!<br />

Pacing is a brilliant opportunity to support our wonderful partners, help park runners achieve their goals and get<br />

your own pacing down to a fine art. It’s not easy to get pacing right, and we think it’s a skill that can develop your<br />

technique and confidence whilst giving something back to the running community - what’s not to like!<br />

“I managed in bang on 20 mins and checking the website afterwards saw that one person ahead<br />

of me took a few seconds off their PB - I like to think I had a hand in that!”<br />

Andy Lulham 20 mins @ Hilly Fields Parkrun<br />

-Andy’s pro-tip: “Give yourself 2-3 mins in hand [on a<br />

recent 5km time], just to be sure!”<br />

-Check out the course in advance! As our runners<br />

discovered at Hilly Fields in Lewisham - if the course<br />

is hilly, pacing strategy can quickly get complicated!<br />

-Get stuck in! Whatever time you’re running there<br />

will be people using you as their marker for progress<br />

- go out there and show them what red thunder is all<br />

about!
