Consistent Progress and Impressive Finish Megan demonstrated a commendable performance in the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon. As part of the Sole Mates team, she completed the 26.2-mile course with an overall time of 3:22:30 and an average pace of 7:43 min/mile. She placed in the top 30% overall (804th out of 2690), showing resilience across all miles, and she achieved notable category standings: 189th in her gender and 37th in her age division (F40-44). Megan's pacing revealed strategic improvements, starting with an 8:56 min/mile in the first mile and progressively accelerating throughout the race, peaking with a swift 6:51 min/mile at mile 7. Although mile 16 saw a significant pacing drop to 11:46 min/mile, it was an isolated occurrence, and she quickly recovered by mile 17. This temporary setback can be an opportunity for refining pacing strategies to maintain uniformity. Megan's ability to finish strongly, maintaining a steady pace, underscores her endurance capabilities. Keep refining those pacing strategies to build on this excellent foundation.
