What are your thoughts on pace groups in a large organized run?

Has anyone had bad experiences with pace groups in a large organized run? Yesterday, I was running a 20-miler on a course I had never run before, so I ran with a pace group. I've been nursing an injury, so I decided to go with a conservative 9 min/mile pace. There were no mile markers, so there...

What is it like running with a fuelbelt?

Answered by a doctor

I need to buy one, but wonder what it will be like wearing it when I run. Is it bulky? Which one did you buy? I was thinking the 2 bottle one would be enough. I'm just tired of becoming dehydrated on long runs. There's another one that has 2 bottles for water and 2 for gels. I want one that...
