Hello, everyone! I'd like to clarify the origin of word "pacer" or "pacekeeper" , person who helps runners to avoid all their energy too quickly, so that they have enough left to complete the race. Thank you.

In running, you choose a suitable 'pace' at which you can run efficiently. A pacekeeper runs with you at that pace, and you just have to follow him or her at the same pace. pace - the speed at which you run.
