'Forcing the pace' probably started life in a military situation. Soldiers are used to marching at a steady given speed - ie pace - but occasionally they have to increase that in order to reach a destination on time. The sergeant at the front of the company might, therefore, have to 'force the pace'; in other words, press them to move faster.
