Consistent Early Pacing with Late Decline Jason exhibited strategic pacing in the early stages of the 2026 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon. He showed a strong performance through the first half, maintaining splits mostly under 7-minute miles from mile 2 to mile 10, and even ranked 6th in his division at mile 10. Notably, his fastest split was a 6:23 at mile 7. This early pacing demonstrated a consistent strategy and endurance. Despite a robust start, Jason experienced deceleration in the second half, particularly after mile 18, which slowed to an 8:29 minute mile. The pace dropped further to 10:48 at mile 22, the slowest mile of the race. His final race time of 3:34:29 reflected a later slowdown compared to previous races. A great focus for the future is adapting late-race strategy to maintain consistent pacing throughout, potentially improving his finish. Keep up the strong early race efforts.
