Comparing this performance to her 2024 race, Shannon's pace slightly decreased from 14:11 min/mile to 14:44 min/mile. The data suggests possible focus areas might be the mid-race miles where paces slowed, specifically miles 8 and 11, where her pace dipped to 15:42 min/mile and 16:12 min/mile, respectively. Encouragingly, this race didn't match her fastest half marathon from 2019, but she demonstrated consistent performance from previous years, highlighting her experience and dedication to finish strong. Consider interval training to enhance speed endurance. Well done, Shannon!
