Steady Improvement Through Consistency Michael maintained consistency in his splits, averaging a pace of 12:27 min/mile across the 13.1 miles. His performance saw slight fluctuations in pace, with the fastest mile split achieved in mile 4 at 11:07 min/mile. The ability to keep a steady pace in the middle section of the race demonstrates strong endurance capabilities. Michael improved his overall position twelve times throughout the race, displaying strategic pacing. His final time of 2:43:07 shows a notable consistency compared to the 2022 race, where he finished with a time of 2:43:55.
