Frequently asked questions

What is a pace band?

A pace band is a paper strip you wear on your wrist during a race. It shows the split time to hit at each mile or kilometer to finish on your goal time. One glance tells you if you are ahead or behind.

How do I print and wear a pace band?

Click "Print the pace band": only the strip is printed. Cut it out, cover it with wide clear tape to protect it from sweat and rain, then wrap it around your wrist or slide it under your watch strap.

Even pace or negative split?

Even pace keeps the same speed from start to finish. A negative split means running the second half slightly faster than the first. Starting a little conservatively helps avoid fading late in the race, especially in a marathon.

Does the pace band account for hills and aid stations?

The pace band assumes a flat course. On climbs, accept losing a few seconds and get them back on the descents. After an aid station, do not rush to catch up: make the time back gradually over the next miles.
