About Me

I’m Chris — an amateur runner who’s been training and enjoying running events for years. I’ve completed six marathons so far, and one of my long‑term goals is to run all six World Marathon Majors.

Running has been a huge part of my life. I love the structure, the challenge, the mental health benefits, and the feeling of chasing a time that means something to you.

Berlin Marathon, 2025

Where PaceBand Started

The idea for PaceBand came during the Berlin Marathon in 2025.

I genuinely thought I was finally on track to break my target of four hours and forty‑five minutes… but the truth is, I had no idea if I actually was. My watch was giving me pace, but not the right information:

• GPS was bouncing around

• The kilometre markers on the course didn’t match the distance on my watch

• My “pace” didn’t tell me if I was ahead or behind my target

Afterwards, I looked at my Strava data and realised I’d run more than the official marathon distance (42.72 km!) — just like most runners do. That extra 600m resulted in an actual time of 4:47:10.

That’s when it clicked: there has to be a simpler, more reliable way to know if you’re on track.

Why PaceBand Exists

PaceBand is built around three things you can trust on race day:

• The official distance markers

• The time on your watch

• The splits printed on your wrist

No GPS errors. No guessing. No hoping you’re on pace — you know.

I created PaceBand® because I needed it myself. And if you’ve ever been in the same situation — chasing a PB but unsure if you’re actually on track — then it’s for you too.
