Phrase pace
Text The word "pace," in this podcast, means the speed or rate of something, especially of a race or of a book that one is reading: "I don't like running with Mitch because he runs at such a slow pace." A "pace" is also a step or the distance that is covered by one step: "Please move one pace to the left." The phrase "to set the pace" means to decide how quickly a group of people will move by beginning to move at that speed: "Whenever they go hiking, her father sets the pace by walking in front." Finally, the phrase "to keep pace with (someone or something)" means to increase or change as quickly as someone or something else is doing: "The company's production can't keep pace with sales, so there aren't enough products for all the people who want to buy them."
