Consistent Pacing, Notable Mid-Race Performance Josh Olsen maintained a consistent pace throughout the 2026 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon. Early splits displayed strength, with his fastest split at mile 5 clocking in at an impressive 6:18 pace, bringing him up to 25th in his division. His average pace for the marathon was 12:01 min/mile, a testament to maintaining endurance over the 26.2-mile course. Improvements could be considered in sustaining early race momentum. From mile 6, Josh could focus on controlling split times, especially from mile 12 onwards, where pace began to exceed 13 min/mile. Despite this, securing 42nd in the Male 19-24 division shows potential in this group. Regular pacing practice and interval training could help maintain speed in later miles. Contributing to the Rookies team, Josh demonstrated a great effort, finishing with a total time of 5:15:08 from a total of 1,398 participants.
