clicking away
I am around a lot of runners. I have seen the best of the best. Pace for pace, everything you threw at her, she just kept clicking away.
Someone compliments an athlete getting under varied tests.
Thanks in advance,

It means she did not stop or lose focus but continued forward.

Pace by pace is the equivalent of step by step IMO.

My mistake, sorry. I read pace FOR pace and it is pace BY pace. I think it refers to competition that could match the runner and other obstacles put in her path. No matter what, she kept her pace without breaking it.

Note from asker:
| Can I ask you about "Pace for pace" here? please don't answer if you want to put it in new entry. Thanks. |

: But please, not "continued on", which is tautology and one of my pet hates; plain "continued" will do fine.

completing it very easily
completing it very easily like clicking on a computer mouse.
I couldn't find this idiom, but this is what I think it means.

Race
I decided that a 6:12 pace seemed appropriate for my training, I did a few laps and everything was feeling really well sorted and kind of easy. After the first mile I found it pretty manageable so I kept my plan in tact. I came around the 5k mark at a pr pace which was an awesome feeling but instead of slowing down I decided to try and keep pace for as long as possible. ***I keep clicking away the miles*** and surprisingly **I am not feeling that bad but it is getting tougher to keep pace.** I knock off the 5th mile and decide to bump up the pace being the last mile and all.
