Consistent Pacing Leads to Improved Performance Jeremy Smith showcased his endurance in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon, improving his previous year's performance. His overall time of 2:08:40 reflects a steady improvement from last year's 2:09:59, shaving off over a minute. His average pace improved to 9:49 min/mile from 9:55 min/mile, indicating progress. Notably, his third and fourth mile splits were his fastest at 8:57 min/mile and 8:47 min/mile, respectively, revealing a strong performance in the early stages of the race. Despite fluctuation in split times in the latter half, particularly a slowdown in the ninth split, Jeremy held his form. Reducing the drop in pace during later miles could further enhance performance. His placement in the M45-49 division was 68th, a slight drop from last year due to increasing race participation. Maintaining consistent pacing while focusing on endurance towards the end could yield even better results in future races. Keep up the determination!
