We're switching things up a little bit this week, as Mandi Wilke hosts episode 13 and chats with OnPacer and all-star sweeper, Esther Sherman!
A sweeper is, as Esther describes it, someone who finishes last on purpose and with a purpose. Esther is famous for pacing with a pack that includes just about anything a runner might need to finish a marathon. She is determined to remove all the obstacles for the people she's running with, in order to help them finish what they set out to do.
Esther's evolution to becoming a sweeper was catalyzed by an experience she had running a marathon of her own. Certain she wasn't going to finish that race, the only thing that kept her going was a man who stayed back to run with her. The accountability, support and belonging she felt finishing that race with someone made her realize that there are other people out there who could find motivation in similar support.
Ester's perspective and experience is invaluable to the OnPace community, as she highlights the feelings, fears and needs of runners that might fall closer to the back of the pack. Her determination to create a running community of greater belonging and support pushes all of us to be better OnPacers, and we're so lucky to have her as a part of the OnPace family!
