A Consistent Strong Finish Sam Sloan delivered a remarkable performance at the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon, maintaining an average pace of 6:13 min/mile over 26.2 miles. His consistent pacing was evident as he logged several sub-6:00 mile splits, including a standout mile at 5:37 for the 7th mile. His pacing from the mid-point onwards was particularly stable, with split times fluctuating slightly but generally maintaining a strong sub-6:10 min/mile. Sam finished the race in 2:43:13, securing 36th place among all male participants and 6th place in his division of M19-24 out of approximately 2,690 participants. While Sam demonstrated exceptional endurance and pacing throughout the race, gaining a few seconds in the final miles might enhance his future race outcomes. Consider targeting specific speed workouts to maintain the stamina required in the later stages of a marathon, potentially reducing slower splits in miles 25 and 26. Well done!
