Consistent Pacing but Gradual Slowdown Observed Lant Leavitt, 47 from Las Vegas, participated in the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon. His overall time was 4:24:37, with an average pace of 10:06 min/mile. In his division, M45-49, he placed 163rd out of 2690 participants. His initial splits showed a strong start, particularly the second mile at 8:52 min/mile. The pace was kept below 9 min/mile up to mile 7. However, there was a gradual slowdown from mile 9 to 26, increasing the average split pace to over 10 minutes per mile toward the conclusion. Notably, in his previous races, he completed a half marathon with a pace of 9:00 min/mile in 2024, demonstrating strong potential. For future races, maintaining a more consistent pace in the second half could improve his overall marathon time. Working on endurance and speed in longer distances might also help in reducing the slowdown past the halfway point.
