Fitness test with beeps (5)

I believe the answer is:

pacer

(Other definitions for pacer that I've seen before include "Competitor" , "Racing horse with an unusual gait" , "setting the rate" , "One who sets the running speed; horse" , "One walking steadily" .)

I've seen this clue in The New York Times.
