The Importance of Even Pace and how we achieve it.

Running at an even pace is very important and something that not all runners can achieve.  During our first long run we appear to have managed this very well and have also established a good way to control the pace. (although at this point only Sean and Sandra know what it is!)

However he is our pace control strategy-if we can no longer hear Carolyn's voice (something we would never want to do) it means one of two things-either we are going too fast and she cannot speak or we have gone too fast and she has dropped off too far at the back.  (this is particularly prevalent on hills!)  In order to correct this Sandra (who has complained that her name is last on the list of people involved, despite always being at the front) is asked/told to slow down! Easy!!
