Steady Pace Progression in Half Marathon Debut Ryan Fairbanks participated in the 2025 REVEL Big Cottonwood Half Marathon, demonstrating consistent improvement in pacing as the race progressed. Starting with a steady pace of 10:02 min/mile in the first mile, Ryan gradually reduced his pace, reaching as quick as 6:53 min/mile in the fourth mile. This mid-race effort significantly improved his overall standing, helping him rise to 1358 overall at one point. His final time was 2:00:13, which translates to an overall pace of 9:10 min/mile. Throughout the race, Ryan showed notable endurance, particularly maintaining an average pace around the 9:10 min/mile mark in the longer stretches. Despite a slight pacing challenge observed in mile 7 with a 12:44 min/mile, he recovered promptly. A key area to focus on could be maintaining the steady progression seen in the early miles throughout the race. As he continues, focusing on sustaining the strong pace from mile 4 could yield even more impressive results.
