So there's a debate on whether Paula Radcliffe should be paced by men.I diagree with pace makers,elite runners don't need them, they know what pace is required for records and they're paid enough appearance money.In several races the pace makers are usually several metres down the road.I remember New York one year when the pacemaker built up such a lead because no one would stay with the pace he was asked to set,that he went on to win the race much to the annoyance of the second runner,he thought he had won.
