Consistent Pacing with Steady Improvement in Later Stages Zeke Peters from Minneapolis completed the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon in 1:57:38, averaging a pace of 8:58 min/mile. Starting at a slower pace of 9:44 min/mile for the first mile, Zeke steadily improved his pace, notably decreasing to 8:26 min/mile at miles 9 and 10. His ability to maintain pace in the later stages resulted in a consistent performance, ultimately improving his position from 1739th to 1394th overall by the end. Compared to his previous participation in 2024 at the same race, Zeke's overall time was slower by 5:16, with his pace increasing slightly from 8:34 to 8:58 min/mile. Nonetheless, focusing on achieving consistent paces in faster splits, particularly around miles 5 through 10, showcases potential for minimizing the overall time in future races. Implementing strategies to maintain a stronger closing pace could further enhance his race performances. Keep pushing, Zeke!
