Consistent Pace with Room for Speed Improvement Ross Saito executed a steady performance at the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon with a final time of 3:42:58, improving from his previous marathon's time of 3:48:49. His average pace of 8:30 min/mile demonstrates a consistent effort over the marathon distance compared to his earlier pace of 8:44 min/mile. Notably, he maintained his speed on multiple occasions, with particular strength in miles 3, 6, and 7, where his pace ranged from 7:38 to 7:42 min/mile. By focusing on maintaining this faster pace throughout more sections, Ross can aim to enhance his overall performance in future races. Towards the later stages, Ross experienced a decrease in pace, particularly visible in the final four miles, where his pace ranged from 9:42 to 10:21 min/mile. Addressing this, perhaps through targeted endurance training and pacing strategies for the latter stages, could optimize future race outcomes. Overall, he displayed strong potential, placing 37th in his division out of 2690 total participants.
