So... is he just really good at running at a specific speed, or what? I don't get it.

He’s good at running the pace they ask him to run and it varies from race to race. Harder than it sounds. Ideally, the pacer runs that pace with little variance rather than looking at their watch halfway through a lap and speeding up or slowing down.

A consistent speed, yes. It’s actually really hard to do.
