Consistent Progression Through Favorable Splits Paul Platts showcased notable improvement in his recent half marathon at the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood event. Covering the 13.1 miles in 2:08:33, he significantly improved his overall pace to 9:48 min/mile compared to last year’s performance of 10:05 min/mile. Paul’s efforts reflect a noticeable progression as he climbed to mid-rank positions such as 137th in the M19-24 division after the 2-mile mark. While Paul began strongly with a quickest 8:55 min/mile pace during the 3rd mile, maintaining this pace until the finish could further enhance his standings. An opportunity for improvement lies in miles 9 to 11, where his pacing slowed, peaking at 11:09 min/mile. His overall performance, however, remains a testament to dedication and consistent training, reflecting growth over his last race. Continuing to build on this trajectory will yield even more competitive results in future races.
