Consistent Pacing Leads to Division Victory Gavin Martella demonstrated impressive consistency in the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon, with an overall elapsed time of 2:38:42 and an average pace of 6:03 min/mile. Notably, he achieved a first-place finish in his M25-29 age division. His tenth mile was the fastest at 5:34 min/mile. The range of his mile paces was quite narrow, with his slowest mile at 6:44 min/mile during the fifth mile. Throughout the race, Martella rapidly advanced in his division, showing strong mid-race recovery and finishing with a remarkable top placement. A consistent pattern was observed in the final miles, maintaining the pace just above the 6:00 min/mile mark, which preserved his energy effectively for a solid finish. Focusing on avoiding any splits above 6:20 min/mile in future races could enhance his overall rank even further. Overall, this performance sets a high standard for his age group and reflects his potential for future events.
