Strength in Consistency Across Splits Joshua maintained a steady pace in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon. His split times reveal notable consistency, especially in the middle segments: a 10:44 min/mile pace at the 3-mile mark and a 10:38 min/mile by mile 4. Joshua's overall pace was 12:39 min/mile. Interestingly, his finish time of 2:45:47 places him 37th in the Male 15-18 Division, demonstrating competitive consistency within his age category. Reflecting upon previous performances, Joshua's current 2:45:47 finish shows a variance from his past times, which ranged from a personal best of 2:20:48 in 2022 to 2:37:03 in 2024. Focusing on maintaining the early race paces seen in the 2022 and 2023 results could be beneficial in bridging the gap to his previous bests. Engaging in targeted training sessions to enhance late-race endurance may lead to smoother transitions through the later miles.
