Keeping Pace: No One Runs an Ultramarathon Alone

Almost no one runs an ultramarathon alone. Pacers are the drumbeat of any runner’s team. They provide company for portions of the race and keep the motivation high, the legs moving and the calories flowing (in, hopefully not out). They can be the difference between dropping and finishing. But for Lisa Jhung, pacing is about much more than just helping her friends so they’ll return the favor. It’s given her a new outlook on the sport she loves. In “Keeping Pace,” she reflects on lessons learned and how helping friends reach their goals is more of a gift than she ever expected.

Wouldnt it be great if we all just realized that, really, no one does anything alone.

His kids pacing him at the end.. the most wholesome sweet thing!

When he didn't know if he could push through and she said "of course you can" with so much conviction and confidence and then he pushed through - that made me so emotional. At this point crying with strangers on the internet is nothing new, lol. Beautiful short film! Thank you Patagonia for putting it together!

Thanks for sharing @kaytim414! We think we all need a little more of that in the world. Supporting one another is a beautiful thing!
