Consistency Meets Endurance in Laura's Marathon Performance Laura from Colorado Springs demonstrated impressive consistency throughout the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Marathon, maintaining a steady pace from start to finish. She completed the marathon in 3:39:27, keeping an average pace of 8:22 min/mile across the 26.2 miles. Notably, her early splits were quite even, with the first eight miles holding a sub-7:35 min/mile pace. Her split at mile 14 clocked in at her fastest pace of 7:03 min/mile, showing a strategic push midway through the race. Towards the final miles, there was a noticeable dip in speed, with splits slowing to around 9:45 min/mile, which indicates a typical challenge in maintaining pace over the longer distance. However, her overall placement in the top third of her division and her rank of 8th in the F40-44 division are commendable. To enhance future performances, focusing on endurance in the later stages could help sustain pace throughout the marathon. Keep up the good work, Laura!
