Thank you and well done to you both. I imagine pacing can be quite stressful but you did a brilliant job. Sure your efforts were well appreciated. Nice to hear the history. Looks a very nice park and log fire in cafe sounds heavenly on a cold January day.
Nice park run and interesting history. I would have thought the trees would be bigger in a 101 year old park. I can see how that would be a good one to set a PB
Nice Doddlers hat and great job volunteering! Since starting running 3 years ago i have only managed to use a pacer for about 300 yards of my first half marathon .Was on on the inside at a congested l h bend, losing sight and ending up ahead and then just doing my own thing and watching for them to come past(so still very useful). He finished i think 2 seconds inside 1hr 45 and despite my erratic pacing i was about 40 seconds infront. I think a flatish tarmac parkrun with a 20 min pacer would really help me, the times i have been closest,despite having a watch i have been convinced i am nowhere near and eased off and when i am another 25 seconds slower i have nearly died giving everything in that last 1/2km convinced its on!
Yeah one that if it were a bit closer we'd probably do quite a bit as a pleasant amble. Also they have weekly pacers so could always volunteer to run with a purpose.
Nice video, enjoyed this. Well done on great pacing times too. How do you get involved with pacing at parkrun? I thought most parkruns that have pacers do it through a local running club. I generally tourist but would love to pace but not sure which ones offer them on what weeks. The future volunteer roster sometimes hints about Pacer weeks if the role is available, but for most parkruns this isn't there.
This parkrun has pacer on the volunteer roster weekly for people to sign up to. There were just two slots listed but 6 pacers so everyone is welcome. Different parkruns have different roster lists. Eg some have run report writers others do not. Same with photographer.

It's worth a visit if you get the chance. 👍🙂

Hmm good point. Not sure on that. Maybe the trees came later?
Great job TRB pacers !! I didn't know they had pacers at park runs 😮
Cheers. Some advertise them and have as a volunteer role, and others don't. John has done it a few times. 🙂
Well done both. I'd be paranoid about my watch pace being incorrect if I was trying to stick to a pace like that.
It can feel a bit stressful, but nobody really minds if you're not spot on. Being there or there abouts is fine...😁🏃♂️🏃♀️
That looked a great course, thank you for taking the time to volunteer and pacing, its great fun, great video as always
Thanks you two.
Nice that pacing counts for both Volunteer and Runner credits 😃
As does parkwalker but we like the art of pacing to a pb or target.
I’m terrible at pacing! Well done 👍🏽
Thanks Will
Really enjoy Goole, my fastest time in a while was there last summer. Great profile and pacing 👍
Thanks Josh
Cheers Dawn, I was using your pacing for my first time at Goole.
That's nice to know thank you. Glad I was of help.

Yeah pacers can give a good focus. The hat was the memento from The Stickler. A once-in-a-lifetime run for me.
We did the test run there and then the inaugural. A fast course when the conditions are good 👍

Nice job - I'd totally mess that job up!
I couldn't see cumulative time on the watch hence the over compensation of 24:21. That and being .02 of a mile short.

Was Dawn in Novablast 3s there (difficult to tell on my phone)? If yes, would she consider them suitable for marathon distance?
No they were Adizero Pro 2s. Which she did use for the marathon. Another pair of them. Never had Novablast 3s
