Steady Pace with Potential for Growth Brian maintained a consistent pace at the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Half Marathon, completing the race in 2:17:43 with an average pace of 10:30 min/mile. Notably, the initial miles were strong, with a 9:33 min/mile split for the first mile, and although his pace decreased slightly as the race progressed, he managed a commendable effort in his division, finishing 28th in M60-64. Brian’s performance highlighted his ability to sustain effort over longer distances, as reflected in the closely aligned split times overall. In terms of previous races, Brian showed variance in pacing and results, with a best finish time of 2:04:49 in 2024. His performance in 2025 was slower compared to his recent best, suggesting opportunities to incorporate more targeted speed work for improvement. Working on maintaining consistent pacing or slightly negative splitting towards the end of races could maximize his performance. His hard work with Las Vegas Runners is evident, providing a strong foundation for future races.
