Consistent Early Pacing But Late Slowdown at Marathon Srinivasu Narla's marathon performance began with a consistent pace, demonstrating strong pacing discipline in the early miles. Notably, the first half featured steady splits with a notable 8:11 min/mile in the opening mile and a consistent pace around 9:00 min/mile through mile 14. Splits in miles 7, 8, and 12 displayed improvement with paces of 8:46 min/mile and 8:42 min/mile, showcasing an ability to regain speed mid-race. This strategic approach provided a solid foundation early in the event. However, the latter portion saw a gradual slowdown, with paces ranging from 10:08 min/mile to a peak of 15:29 min/mile at mile 21. This deceleration culminated in an overall pace of 10:44 min/mile.

Focusing on maintaining the early consistency throughout the entire marathon could enhance overall performance in future races.
