Impressive Pacing with Early Strength Barry Fischer maintained a commendable average pace of 7:36 min/mile over his marathon in the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston. Starting strong, his pace consistently stayed under or around the 6:40-7:00 min/mile mark for the first half of the race, showcasing his endurance and experience in the early stages. A particularly notable moment came at mile 7 with his fastest split at 6:05 min/mile, which indicates remarkable speed and strategy. In the second half, a gradual decline was observed, with the pace extending over 8:00 min/mile starting from mile 18. This pattern suggests a possible area for improvement could be energy conservation for the later miles. Despite this, Barry finished 716th out of 2690 participants and 71st in his division, demonstrating competitive performance. Future training could focus on maintaining pace consistency with less slowdown towards the end stages of long-distance races.
