Strong Start, Need to Pace Final Miles Ryan from Long Beach, CA participated in the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon, completing the 26.2 miles in 4:03:26. Early in the race, up to mile 8, he maintained an impressive average pace of 6:36 min/mile, with his fastest split at mile 7, covering the mile in just 5:58. His strategic pacing during these early miles enabled him to place within the top 300 overall. However, from mile 19, the splits significantly slowed, particularly with mile 23 taking nearly 20 minutes, leading to an overall pace of 9:17 min/mile. In comparison to his previous marathon at the same event in 2024, with a finish of 3:03:20, the result this time shows potential areas to focus on. While the initial speed and consistency were commendable, maintaining this during the latter miles could help improve his overall time and ranking. Consider incorporating targeted long-distance endurance training to sustain pace in future marathons.
