unpaced
Not timed externally
Unpaced describes something not regulated by a set rhythm or external control.
In exercise physiology, an unpaced activity lets participants choose their own speed: unpaced walking tests.
In cycling or running, unpaced means without a pacer setting the tempo.
The word can also describe writing or speech that lacks deliberate pacing—either rushed or meandering.
