Neither or both! I can tick off boxes in each. Maybe it depends on the day 😊

:) definitely a racer. Great article Bazza - I'll have to try their negative split running suggestion.

Usually a pacer, but have been known to sprint to the finish line at Parkrun to beat someone...😁

I don't think I'm either, it's very difficult to put people in boxes!!!!

Instinctively I would have said a pacer, but I am much more relaxed about events and actually tick boxes in both.

I don't think I'm either, I'm still concentrating too much on being able to run at all. Although I do tend to aim for 'negative splits', and when I do parkrun I focus on time rather than position. Maybe I have the potential to be a pacer one day...

I think I am definitely more on the pacer side, I am trying to find my kick, it's there somewhere I am sure of it?

Not what you're looking for?
