Consistent Effort with Opportunities for Refinement Maria ran the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon with an elapsed time of 3:55:48, maintaining a steady pace of 9:00 min/mile throughout the 26.2 miles. Her splits indicate a strong start, highlighted by a third-mile split of 7:52 min/mile. Notably, she achieved consistent pacing between miles 6 to 10, averaging around 8:40–8:48 min/mile, which is commendable for maintaining rhythm at this stage. Maria demonstrated significant consistency within her age division, ranking in the top 100 throughout the race and finishing 89th in the F45-49 group. Compared to her previous marathon, Maria showed similar levels of endurance and pacing. However, there was a slight increase in her overall finish time and pace, suggesting room for minor adjustments in her training strategy. Focusing on the final miles where her pacing slowed slightly, especially at mile 23, can support improved finish placement in future races. Maintaining initial momentum could result in enhanced endurance for future marathons.
