'marching pace' is the definition.
'quick time' can be an answer for 'pace' (quick time is a kind of pace). I am unsure of the 'marching' bit.

'mick quite unusual' is the wordplay.
'unusual' indicates an anagram.
'mick'+'quite'='mickquite'
'mickquite' with letters rearranged gives 'QUICK TIME'.

'of' acts as a link.
