- Welcome to my latest race day video, which is the Great Run Birmingham Half marathon, where i won't be racing, but instead i will be pacing as one of the official pacers for the Great Run Birmingham Half marathon.
I was official pacer for 1 hour 50 minutes.
How did i get on?
Did i keep to pace?
What was it like running with a HUGE flag on your back and carrying a bass boom blaster for music?
All will be revealed in this video.
SPOILER ALERT: I had a great time!

Nice to see you yesterday and great to get a sub 1:50 finish. Your were awesome 👏🏽🏃🏽♂️🏃🏾♂️. Subbed btw 😊
Great to meet you too Surinder, superb running and fabulous to have helped you to your first sub 1hr 50 half marathon! What was your final chip time?
@@PoetWithPace my chip time was 1:49:01 😊
WOOP! Almost a whole minute under is brilliant Surinder! 🥳🥳
@@surinderparkash1135 Well done Surinder!!!!!
Great fun, lots of smiley faces and great tunes! So nice of you to give back/ pace!
Glad you enjoyed this Jay 🥳🥳🥳
Great coverage of the race and well done to you and Kieran .As always love your enthusiasm and the joy you get from running.
Thank you Claire, glad you enjoyed this! Have you checked the sub to my channel?
Really enjoyed watching this. Your enthusiasm is abundant as always & clearly had a positive effect on the people you paced 🙂
Thank you Lawrence! It was such fun and so happy that so many I paced had a great time and many with new personal bests!
That half marathon looks fun enjoyed your video that was good
Glad you enjoyed this Lorraine 👍🏼👍🏼
Great video, Donato. This is such a lovely thing to do, pacing others is the ultimate payback to the sport. I've done it twice and found it incredibly inspiring. Well done. I hope every runner in Birminghaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam appreciates you. I wouldn't have made it past Carbury's factory. 👍 👍
Thank you sir! I was tempted to stop at Cadbury’s 😜😜
Did Birmingham too...agree brilliant event 👍 Ace Video Donato
Thank you Darren. Glad you enjoyed it too! Next race for you is?
Loved this! If I'd have started in your wave I'd have kept up with you - just! That course was hard but you made it look easy 😎
Indeed you would of kept up Andy. May of looked easy, but my legs still felt it on Monday LOL
Thanks Donato top video!
Glad you enjoyed this 🥳🥳
Great job Donato, wish I had been there. Loved my 10k yesterday felt good to be back but not ready for a half just yet.
Thank you Neil. Plenty of time to get back up to half marathon distance. 10k is still a long way!
Brilliant content donato
Thank you. Really appreciate your support! Feel free to share with all you know.
Great saying hello to ya yesterday. I hope you enjoyed yourself being a pacer ... I am looking forward to this video too
Great to meet you too Stephen. It was an absolute blast and hope you enjoy this video at least half as much as i did pacing the race! What is your next event?
@@PoetWithPace I would like to run the Hertfordshire half marathon or a half marathon on remembrance day
Great to hear Stephen. Hope you enjoy whatever you do 👍🏼
@@fodder9812 sounds like a great plan!
Great job pacing. It astounds me how many people take on the responsibility of pacer and miss the time by minutes. You guys did a great job.
Thank you Wesley. Indeed we were all pretty much bang on, given a few seconds, as you saw on the video. Hope you continue to enjoy and share the videos on this channel.
@@PoetWithPace yeah of course. Subscribed!
@@wesleytwiggs7687 thank you Wesley! Hope you continue to enjoy!
Nice video, I always think being a marshall or a drink station helper is a fun thing to do. Being a pacer is great as well., even better! I did seem to notice you often were running on your own a lot? I expected to see a small crowd behind you staying pace for a lot of the run?
It was such fun Richard! Indeed most were with me till we hit the hills. I have to finish at a specific time, so have to keep a specific pace. Most who were with me at start and first 10k pushed on ahead for new personal bests, which is often best strategy. Start slow and finish strong. Make sense?
Another wonderful video Donato! Fully engaged and entertained throughout. Whoever did the tunes on your boombox did a great job! How close to 1:50 were you?
Glad you enjoyed this! I was bang on pace 👍🏼
This looked so much fun! I love pacing at parkrun and although the challenge is for runners to keep up with me, I like to see what’s the lowest number bib I can safely offer to wear.
Did you not get any copyright problems?
Oh Rachel, the video doesn't show how much fun we all had. Shame i couldn't record all the times as my arms would have fallen off, but we all had such a blast along the way. Yes, lots of copyright issues, but hey ho!
Great video matey and I save that ... You even caught my mum and my wife's grandparents on camera cheering everyone on at Cadbury's 😀. I was the chap running past ya wearing the BHF vest saying hello 😀 good stuff and well done to you 👏
Glad you enjoyed this Stephen and super to have caught you and your family on video. Hope you continue to enjoy and share my videos 🥳🥳
@@PoetWithPace I started running last August and yesterday was my first half marathon race matey .. Finish time 1:37:55.. I can't wait to do it all over again next year 😀
@@fodder9812 That is AMAZING Stephen! Be sure to keep training. What is your next race, as waiting for next year is too long! LOL
@@PoetWithPace I would like to run a half marathon on Remembrance weekend for my dad's grandad who fought in World War One ... I have bookmark the Solihull, Kenilworth and Hertfordshire half marathon as my next races 😀
@@fodder9812 all great races and a wonderful way to remember your grandad. You may of seen my Kenilworth half marathon race video from last year?
Great job Donato 👍, nice to meet you on Sunday, how did you become a pacer?
Nice to meet you too! Top secret how I became a pacer 😉
Looking 4ward too this.!!...😁😁x
Me too Liz! Hope you enjoy!
@@PoetWithPace it was brilliant Donato you did amazing and great to hear a Scots guy at the end!!.. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🏃♂️🏃♂️🏃♂️x
@@lizgreen2936 thank you Liz! The Scots chap was great running! Did you hear the proclaimers was playing also on my music at the end?
Sorry, I didn't quite catch that... Where did you say you are again?
Did I mention Birmingham? 😉
wow. we ran the same race again. except i didnt make it in time for the orange wave so started a bit later. Totally right on the toilets, i could have run a 10k in the time it took for me to get there.
Now that is a coincidence! What is your next race?
@@PoetWithPace the next booked one is Birmingham and black country half along the canal in July (my night run route). But I'm seriously considering the 5k flip flop race in June on Worthing Beach.

And what is the question Philip?
my question is when doing you pacing what screens fields do you display on your watch
