Consistent Pace with a Sturdy Finish Jason Layton from Lehi, UT, completed the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon with an impressive time of 1:53:08, achieving an overall pace of 8:38 per mile. Noteworthy throughout the race were his strategic improvements in pace after the midpoint, especially between miles 8-10, where he maintained sub-8:30 splits. His fastest split came at mile 5 with a notable 7:26 min/mile, indicating a good push during that segment. Jason finished 1113th overall out of 3972 participants, placing comfortably within the top third of the male runners in his age division M40-44. Compared to his previous races, Jason demonstrated a significant consistency improvement. His pace was slightly faster than previous half marathons, with a better finish time compared to his 2021 and 2022 performances at the same event. To enhance future performances, focusing on maintaining pace consistency toward the race end could be beneficial, as there was a slight slowdown in the last mile. Great effort overall!
