✨ Welcome to Pace Of Us
Two runners. One journey.
We’re Paula & Julien — partners in life and on the run. What started as a few runs together turned into marathons, early alarms, long runs, race medals… and a lot of memories along the way.
Running has become our happy place. A space where we challenge ourselves, support each other, and grow together — mile after mile.
This account is where we share it all: 🏃♀️ training days 🏅 race moments ❤️ the highs, the doubts, and the miles in between
Next goal: Paris Marathon 2026 🇫🇷
If you love running and chasing big goals… you’re in the right place🏃🏻♀️🏃🏻♂️

We did it! Marathoners x4 ❤️
Two different races, one shared finish line.
This morning at the Paris Marathon, we ran side by side… in spirit (and at very different paces 😅).
✨ 3:35:52 — a new PB for me
✨ 3:35:07 — a day of pure grit for Julien
Not every race goes to plan. At km32, Julien had to stop and empty everything his body had left 🤮… and somehow still found the strength to keep going, pushing through the hardest miles with an empty tank.
On my side, from km35 to the finish, I had the best support I could ask for—my brother-in-law stepping in as a pacer and lifting me when it mattered most. That final stretch will stay with me forever.
And none of this would be possible without our incredible support crew ❤️
Family and friends who came to cheer, who sent messages, who looked after our kids so we could chase this crazy goal… this finish line is yours too.
That’s what this sport teaches us: resilience, humility, and the power of people around you.
So proud of us, of this journey, and of crossing that finish line
(almost) together 🖤
The pace is ours. Always.

If you’re a beginner runner, read this before your next run 👇
These 6 tips will save you time, energy… and injuries:
1. Invest in good running shoes
2. Never skip your warm-up
3. Increase gradually
4. Hydration matters more than you think
5. Run slower than you think
6. Consistency > motivation
Most beginners think running is about pushing harder.
It’s not. It’s about building smarter.
Slow down, stay consistent, and watch yourself improve 🫶
Save this for your next run 🤝

ROAD TO 10K — WEEK 2 ☀️
This second week of training looked a little different: recovery miles, easy runs around Copenhagen and enjoying movement without pressure.
After marathon season, it felt good to slow down for a minute, run with the kids, explore a new city and simply enjoy being outside together.
We’re slowly getting back into rhythm before the real work starts again next week: strength sessions, longer intervals and more structure 🫡
9 weeks until race day 🏁
Let’s see where this journey takes us.

Still waiting btw 🥲🏃🏻♀️
Please Julien, tell everyone 😂
Anyone else dreaming about becoming a professional runner without actually having the talent for it?

The best way to discover a new city?
Put on your running shoes and let the streets guide you.
No plans. No pressure. Just moving through a new place together, one step at a time.
And somehow, every city feels a little more special when explored with our little running buddy 🤍

ROAD TO 10K — WEEK 1 ☀️
First official week of training towards our July 14th 10K.
This week was all about getting back into structure after marathon season: easy miles, two light speed sessions and finding rhythm again.
We arrived in Copenhagen this weekend right in time for marathon day — which honestly felt like the perfect reminder that running season never really stops 😅
Still recovering, but excited to switch gears and focus on the 10K now.
10 weeks until race day 🏁
Let’s see where this journey takes us.

No big comeback, no pressure — just getting back into it, step by step.

No crowds, no pressure — just us, running together 🤍
