Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Junyi Zhou, a 32-year-old runner from Ewing, NJ, displayed an impressive performance at the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon. Over the 26.2 miles, his overall pace was 8:13 min/mile, completing the course in a total elapsed time of 3:35:33. Notably, he opened with an 8:25 min/mile pace and successfully maintained and even improved his pace over many splits, including an impressive 7:10 min/mile at mile 16. In the divisional standings (M30-34), Junyi consistently placed around 95th, showing strong competition within a challenging bracket of participants. His performance saw him cross the finish line at 1133rd overall, out of 2690 participants. His ability to maintain a relatively even pace throughout the race, especially between miles 16 and 22, showcases a strong foundation. For future races, minimizing the slower intervals observed in the later Miles 23-25 could further enhance his race outcomes.
