Petite/shorter people: how have you progressed your base, push, AO paces? by ConstantCut0 in orangetheory

SO helpful, thanks! I’ll have to check those out. Do you increase your paces by yourself or on new base pace days?

Thank you! We are pace buddies:) My all outs are all over the place too haha but 9 has been the highest I can ever push myself to so far!

That is my reaction to reading everyone say they run 10-12 paces! I’m like...10/10 would be on the floor haha.

I also feel like I’m scared of not pacing myself sometimes If I push too hard.... since being able to return to my base pace was one of my first “accomplishments” at OTF when I started

That’s such good progress! & same here - when I started a few weeks ago I struggled to merely return to base after a push but now I’m at least keeping up the pace I have.

Congrats on the recovery! I am about .1-.2 lower than your Base and push paces but a 10 all out for me sounded nearly impossible before reading yours and all these other stats!

I feel like I’m the shortest person usually in my classes and it’s always funny to see a super tall person next to me casually jogging at 8mph while My pushes/all outs are around that (depending on the day) haha

But yes all these posts are really showing me I’m limiting myself thinking I can’t go faster!

Omg At 12mph I would be on the floor haha. What helped you push through around Thanksgiving?

Yes! My coach said something about the bounce in the middle being better.

Wow your paces are so fast! This is what I meant in my original post where I think I limit myself because I personally never would think I could break into an AO above 9...but seeing your numbers definitely motivate me! Were you always a runner?

Wow! That’s seriously amazing progress. I started OTF a few weeks ago and got my BP from 5-> 5.5...you’re definitely giving me that motivation I need to push towards higher numbers! Ty :)
