- Position yourself at the starting line or very far ahead. What this causes is that the vast majority of runners in mass races never end up seeing the graze from a distance.
- Choose graze without due time. Many people would like to be pacers, but they don't have the minimum allowed times. It's essential that their average race times be much lower than the one they'll be supporting.
- Not having a career strategy. Without a race strategy, you can lose sight of many factors that could affect your pace depending on the different kilometers. Pacing yourself according to the altitude or weather will be essential to ensuring your pace, knowing where to push and where to stay back.
- Desire for prominence. Be graze It is a very satisfying service, helping hundreds of people achieve their goals, but when your desire to stand out in the photo or be the center of attention predominates, you can lose focus and run the risk of not properly helping other people achieve their goal. Take the selfie at the start or finish of the race. Don't lose focus!
- Focus on your own goals. Definitely, the main basis of a graze is to be a leader for the achievement of the goals of others, therefore, it is essential to give up your own goals, at least just for this career; if you want to pursue your goal it is better not to be graze.
- Unpunctuality. Be graze It involves arriving well in advance, punctually before the race, collecting your identifier (balloon, flag) on time and positioning yourself in the correct place from the start.
- Lack of empathy. Remember that you'll be the focus of attention for hundreds of people who will place their hopes in you. Understand them, support them, and guide them! Be kind and warm.
- Lack of motivation. You can't imagine how many people you have around you, trying to achieve a goal, struggling not to give up, not to quit, finding their best version, or simply focused on reaching their goal in the best way possible. They're going to need a timely word of encouragement from you!
- Focus on one or a few people. Never focus on just one person, much less lose your rhythm for one of them, nor divert your focus from the rhythm your group must maintain. The common good is more important than the good of each individual.
- Not having the right technology. Definitely, a graze You must have a good mobile device that allows you to track or tracking at your race pace. Not carrying it or having it discharged in the middle of the race would disorient not only the graze, but to all the others who are allowing themselves to be guided.
