Hi Hanibal,
Pace means to walk back and forth moved by some strong, usually negative feeling (for example when nervous).

I don't understand why it is the invitation to walk around while sb is very tired!

Hello Saneta,

At first glance without additional context that does look strange, doesn't it?

I think there are two possible contexts:

1. It is a well known fact that gentle exercise revives you when you are feeling tired. It boosts your body's system and leaves you more awake.
2. The people speaking might be involved in more strenuous physical activity. They might, for example, be jogging. Then it would make sense, if someone got tired, for them to walk instead of jog for a while.
