I was given the wonderful opportunity to review a Pace Band by Races 2 Remember at the Walt Disney World Princess Half Marathon. Molly has been a gem to work with and their product is really great ... and a true motivator!
I had set my goal at 1:55, to set a new PR. Although I didn't meet my goal (missed it by a few minutes), I referred to my pace band throughout the entire 13.1 mile journey. At every mile marker I would check out where I should be. I was usually pretty much on target actually. If I was a few seconds behind, I would kick it up a notch. It really did help me out. The last two miles were tough on my feet, so I didn't get a PR, but I was close. The Pace Band really did help keep me focused on a goal.

Bands are printed on waterproof paper and mine held up my entire journey through sweat, water and Powerade stops. The sticker closure held up fine and I didn't feel it the entire race.
They even went so far to offer me a custom pink leopard print background. How divalicious is that?? I also customized my pace band so that my "encouraging words" said RUNNING DIVA MOM.

I have used Pace Tats before. I am going to check these out.
ReplyDeleteVery neat! I have been trying to figure out what to do for pacing for my half..so far I have considered a sharpie marker. Those are way cooler!
ReplyDeletelike ajh said, i've seen the pace tats, and I don't think they're around anymore. cool bands!
ReplyDeleteThat is such a clever idea! I love it, and thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the review of the pace bands. I always wondered if they were big enough to actually read the numbers on them as you were running. Sounds like they really work, though.
ReplyDeleteDefinitely need to check these out. I printed out a free one for January, but didn't use it. Good thing because with the rain it would have disappeared - these look more durable.
ReplyDeleteThat is so cool! I'm totally using this for my next big race.
ReplyDeleteThe leaves are delicately chased, and each group of three berries is soldered to a triangular pallet. Their stems are made of hammered and tapered solid-gold wire. Bridal Sets on sale
