Becs Gentry’s Pace Your Race AMA: Live On Reddit May 7

Peloton instructor and elite endurance athlete Becs Gentry is hosting a live Pace Your Race AMA this Thursday from 3:30 – 5 PM EST on Reddit. If you’re training for a marathon (or thinking about it), you won’t want to miss it.

What Is Pace Your Race?

Before diving into the “Ask Me Anything” details, it helps to understand what Pace Your Race actually is – It’s Peloton’s new 18-week comprehensive marathon training program built for runners at every level. It combines structured training plans, expert coaching from over 20 Peloton instructors, and an engaged community to guide you through every stage of the marathon journey, from your first long run to crossing the finish line. The program is designed to take the guesswork out of marathon prep and replace it with a clear, strategic roadmap to race day.

Why Becs Gentry Is Leading This Pace Your Race AMA

Becs isn’t just a Peloton instructor reading from a training manual. She’s a seasoned marathoner whose real-world experience includes competing in The Great World Race (a global marathon challenge) that tested her physical and mental limits at the highest level. That combination of elite athletic experience and coaching expertise makes her uniquely qualified to lead the Pace Your Race AMA and answer the questions that actually matter to runners in the thick of training.

What You Can Ask at the Pace Your Race AMA

The Pace Your Race AMA is your direct line to Becs, and she will likely cover:

• How to structure your training weeks leading up to race day
• Integrating Peloton rides into your running schedule without overtraining
• Mental strategies for staying consistent through long training blocks
• The most common marathon training mistakes and how to sidestep them
• Nutrition and recovery practices during heavy training
• How Pace Your Race specifically accelerates your preparation compared to training alone

Where and How to Join

The Pace Your Race AMA will be hosted live on Reddit in the Peloton community at r/PelotonCycle. Reddit AMAs are one of the most direct formats for getting genuine, unscripted answers. Becs will be responding to questions in real time, so you can ask follow-ups and dig deeper into anything marathon-related. Check out the questions already posted and see if yours it there – give it an upvote. The more votes a question gets, the higher the likelihood that Becs will cover it.

How to Prepare Your Questions

If you’re currently enrolled in Pace Your Race or considering marathon training, use the time before Thursday to think about what’s actually holding you back. Is it managing long run fatigue? Fitting training around a busy schedule? Injury prevention? Those are exactly the kinds of questions the Pace Your Race AMA is designed to address.

And even if a marathon isn’t on your radar right now, Becs’ insights on endurance training and the Pace Your Race framework are genuinely useful for any runner looking to build a stronger aerobic base and get more out of their Peloton practice.
