- On 8th March 2020 I took part in the Surrey Half Marathon. Having set my PB at this event two years ago, this time as part of the Xempo Race Pacing team, it was my chance to help lots of other runner achieve their goals. I was one of the 2 hour race pacers and really enjoyed it. Check out the video to see what it was like.

I’ve never ran with a pacer as encouraging as you Chris
A born pacer!
Thanks Joanne, that's very kind. I've learnt from some of the best when I've been running races and just try to be encouraging as I can.
I agree. Never seen a pacer as encouraging either. Excellent - Well Done! You fancy doing Edinburgh as a pacer for Sub 4 😂
Nice video - I was there! I went out too fast with the 1:55 pacer, trying to break 2hrs. At 7 miles I started jeffing and you were hunting me down but I saw your flag and just about kept you at a comfortable distance. Eventually finished in 1:58:58 - well happy with that for my first half marathon. Great job to you!
Well done Graham! Glad to hear that you stayed ahead of us and that's a great time for your first half.
Great job Chris. Always a pleasure to have you on the team. Hope to have you along to another race soon.
Thanks Dan and thanks again for the opportunity. It was great being part of the team and helping to create so many PBs :)
I'm late to this vid (popped up in my algorithm) but what fantastic pacing. That's how it should be done - encouragement and camaraderie.
Thank you 👍😀
This one was a memorable race for several reasons. My last event before lock down, a great time pacing and on the course where I previously gained my official half marathon PB.
Well done Chris..Great to see you giving so much encouragement to all of those runners on the 2 hour fun bus.
Thanks mate - it certainly was a lot of fun, thats for sure :)
Well done on the pacing Chris think its good to have pacers in races gives some people a help to know what kind of speed they need to be running 👍
Thanks Brian. I've used Pacers a lot in races and will be hoping they help me in my upcoming marathon, so great to have the opportunity to help some other runners out at the Surrey Half.
I look forward to all of your videos, but this has got to be my number one favourite! You are always in such high spirits and are so motivating. On that note, off I go on my run! Keep up the great work!
Thanks Leah, thats very kind. Occasionally I have to put on my happy face but normally just getting out there and running means it all happens naturally. Hope your run went well today :)
Well done Chris. I can see why you would want to do that and not Lydd (though it was still great fun and we missed you)!!! :) Hope you enjoyed it and well done to all the runners there :)
Thanks Tim, just a shame that Lydd was on the same day as I would have liked to have done both. Glad it all went well though. I'll now be doing a solo 20 miler next weekend.
Cheers Chris, watched your '18 vid before yesterday's run and was one of those going past you towards the end!! Thanks a million, got my PB!
Brilliant Nick, Glad I could help and even more glad that you smashed a PB :)
Great video Chris, perfectly timed for sub 2 and amazing encouragement 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks mate :) Really happy to get so many runners over the line in under 2 hours.
Another quality video Chris, great to meet you before the race. Good luck for Manchester.
Thanks mate, great to have a chat and glad you made it into the video :)
Amazing encouragement Chris. Well done. Loved how you stood on the finish line encouraging everyone across the line to get their PB’s. Awesome 👏👏
Thank you, I had a blast. Love pacing as you could probably tell, it's really rewarding to help everyone else.
@@HereWeAreRunning I would feel pressure in pacing it right!
Well done Chris, fantastic job pacing! Looks like you got many a runner to give that little bit extra. Top work!
Thanks, there was certainly a lot of runners giving it their all, which was great to see.
Awesome job as a pacer, Chris. It’s always great to give back!
Thanks Andy, it certainly is, a very rewarding feeling.
Great video Chris 👌🏻. No better feeling helping others to a new PB
Thanks mate. It is a really rewarding feeling, isn't it. I love pacing.
Great job pacing, so very enthusiastic! New subscriber, thanks to Dan. Cheers from Alberta, Canada.
Thanks for subscribing :) I'm looking forward to running with Dan during my upcoming solo marathon attempt!
Well done Chris!
Thanks mate :)
Pacing looks like a blast! Excellent job :)
Thanks Dan, it's certainly very rewarding and a lot of fun :)
Love this vid! You did a fab job Chris 😁
Thanks Tim. I love pacing, it's so rewarding to help others. This was also a special race because so far it's been my only race of 2020. Lockdown began soon after.
Here We Are Running I was thinking that when I saw the date! We stopped kickboxing around that time...strange Spring! I’ve just started a half marathon program myself...got the bug 😁
@@TimWhild Brilliant, it's my favourite distance to race. Yep you've definitely got the bug :)
Thanks Chris. I’m signed up for the 2021 edition
Thanks Caroline, this is a great event.
Great job Chris 👍
Thank you :)
Well done Chris....Will be offering my services as a pacer in the future 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Great stuff Si, its a really rewarding thing to do.
Great stuff and thought I saw you during warm up! Hopefully see you at another one soon 💪🏻
Thank you. You probably saw me and my flag bobbing up and down 😀
Great job, and not an easy one I guess! I now want to be a pacer too!
Thank you, like anything the first time you do it is a bit scary because you don't want to mess up, with everyone depending on you but this time round was far easier and the pace I was running was my marathon pace so really comfortable to run for a half marathon distance. But it's such a rewarding experience and great when people come up to say thank you at the end.
Thanks for the pacing and the brief chat .i was the guy that shock your hand in a wwe hat
Thanks for saying hello Stephen. Hope you were happy with your race. I really enjoyed the event.
@@HereWeAreRunning i loved it but hated the no medals,head scarf .its very expensive .the pacer where awersome
Well done great pacing, looks a nice course also.
Thank you. Yes a very scenic type of route but stills lots of vocal, local supporters cheering everyone on.
Love your videos!! I did the Vitaly big half (my 1st half) on 1st March and I really enjoyed it. Got a time of 2hr 16m 43 s which I'm happy with to build on beating.
Are you running the Worthing half in October?? Im planning of doing the Great South the week before then the Worthing Half (home race)
Thats great Kane, well done oncompleting your first half. I hope to get the opportunity to pace at the rearranged Worthing Half in October so if you are looking for a sub 2 by then, I'll be happy to help :)
Looks like you had some great support from the area!
Yes we did. Considering the course is quite scenic, there was a lot of very vocal supporters out there, which really helped and makes it more enjoyable.
Well done Chris, great video. Was it nervous having to pace other runners?
Thanks Neil. No I wasn't nervous this time. Back a year ago when I paced for the first time was a bit nervy to begin with. But this time, I had a reasonable idea of the course (although they had changed it in places from when I ran it 2 years ago) and I was comfortable with the pace as for me it was my marathon pace. Great experience though and really enjoyed it.
Great video Chris. Lots of my club mates were there with you today and there were lots of PBs. Looks like it was a beautiful day for it. I like the first song you play - where do you get the music from?
Thank you :) Yes we were lucky with the weather (for once!) This race does seem to be good for PBs even though there are a few little bumps along the way. If you look at the bottom of the description of the video, it lists the music used. It's all copyright free music that is made available by several different TH-cam channels. I always try and pick the right song for the right video, which sometimes is the hardest part of the creative process!
Hi Chris, loved the video - I was wondering how you got into pacing this event? Paced the Chichester 10k recently and really enjoyed it!
Thanks Elliott. The Pacers were provided by Xempo. Take a look at racepacing.com to great on the mailing list. There is an email that'll come out twice a year asking for pacers.
Great pacing Chris! Does it make you nervous having to get the timing spot on? Not sure I could handle the pressure! 😱
Thanks Kay. Not really nervous but you are always a bit concerned towards the end in case your gps was a bit out. The mile markers are always accurate so I tend to allow a little bit of contingency time which for this race wasn't necessary.
Good stuff, Chris. As others have said, it’s so nice to see such an encouraging pacer. It was a bit concerning to see the other 2:00:00 pacer come in at 2:03:24, though...what happened there?
Thanks Tom, I'm just glad to be able to help so many runners reach there goals, it's so rewarding :) Actually the timer was showing gun time. As pacers we pace to chip time and because this was quite a big event, it took a few minutes to cross the finishing line. The other pacer was actually spot on 2 hours. I was about half a minute ahead and the third pacer was a bit ahead of me. Because 2 hours is a very popular time, they asked us to spread out a bit which seemed to work pretty well.
Great pacing there, it takes a certain amount of self discipline to stop yourself going for that sprint finish lol
Thanks Tony :) I think the only time you are likely to see a pacer sprint down the finishing straight is if the course was measuring long and they hadn't left any contingency. Fortunately for this one, the course distance and my watch were nearly spot on so I could take it easy to the finish and make sure that everyone else put on a little bit of a sprint to get a great time.
did the 5k last year, weird seeing all my local roads aha
It's a lovely area for a race, especially with the sun shining
You are a great pacer, I would run with you anytime. Cheers!
Thanks Jason, that would certainly be fun :)
