Steady Progress and Consistent Pacing Mark Marathon Success Omar Rojas from Los Angeles demonstrated a progressive improvement in pace during his marathon. His initial mile pace was 11:00 min/mile, and he consistently improved, achieving his fastest mile at a pace of 8:42 min/mile between miles 6 and 7. The latter part of the race displayed Omar's ability to maintain stability, with his overall pace resulting in a finishing time of 4:18:53, an average pace of 9:52 min/mile. Omar's performance placed him 66th in the M19-24 division, out of a competitive field of 1919 finishers. Focusing on breakdowns, Omar notably improved from 79th in his division during the early miles to climbing to his best standing at 66th. Future strategies could emphasize maintaining momentum gained in the mid-race to capitalize on the closing miles. With consistent pacing in the later stages, Omar has a solid basal pace to build upon for future marathons.
