Performance Consistency Shines Through Emily Nguyen from Palos Verdes Estates delivered a consistent performance at the 2025 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon. Her overall time of 3:57:45, with an average pace of 9:04 min/mile, was a slight improvement over her 2019 performance where she clocked in at 3:58:42. Emily maintained a steady pace, especially in the middle miles, sustaining sub-9-minute miles between miles 3 to 16. Notably, in her age group F60-64, Emily achieved an impressive 5th place out of a total field of 2,690 participants. While her split pace increased slightly in the final quarter, Emily's overall consistency in pace demonstrates strong pacing strategy, which allowed her to finish in the top 25% overall. Maintaining her position within the top tier of her division suggests solid preparation and execution. Perhaps focusing on pacing the final six miles could refine her strategy further for future races. The improvement from past performances indicates the benefit of her training regimen with the "HAPPY HOUR RUNNERS".
