Consistent Pacing Leads to Victory Nate Hess delivered an impressive performance at the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon, using a steady but aggressive strategy. Nate maintained a strong and progressively faster pace, commencing with a 6:18 min/mile in the first mile. By the midpoint of the race, his splits remarkably quickened to a 5:31 min/mile in mile 16, and further improved, sustaining a solid pace near 5:25 min/mile toward the end. His final elapsed time for the marathon was 2:22:37, with an average pace of 5:26 min/mile. Particularly noteworthy was Nate's exceptional rank progression and consistency, securing 1st place overall, in male gender, and in his division. His splits after mile 20 emphasized his ability to consistently decrease times, culminating in the final mile at a 5:31 pace. Although Nate clinched 1st, reflecting on the brief slowdown in miles 24 and 25 could potentially help optimize future performances. Overall, a strong and disciplined run.
