Consistent Pacing with Opportunities for Speed Gains Austin Coate showed steady pacing throughout his marathon at the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston, completing the race in 3:54:31 with an average pace of 8:57 min/mile. His performance started with an initial mile at 9:06 but quickly stabilized to around 8:02-8:03 min/mile between miles three and sixteen. Notably, Austin maintained consistent placement throughout, showing a strong middle-section, especially between miles 9 and 11, where he held steady in the 800th range among male competitors and in the 74th spot in his division (M25-29). In contrast to his previous races—half marathons in 2022 and 2023 at the same location—Austin's pacing in this marathon reflected a slight decrease in speed. His half marathon elapsed times of 1:40:41 and 1:46:13 established a faster pace, with his 2022 time at a commendable 7:41 min/mile. Future training might prioritize addressing the later race miles as splits 18 through 26 saw a notable drop, with mile 26 at 13:40 min/mile, which affected his final placement.
