Consistent Performance with Opportunities for Strategic Adjustment Heather Stuart, representing the Sole Sisters, completed the 2026 REVEL Mt Charleston Marathon with a time of 4:01:51, maintaining an overall pace of 9:13 min/mile. Notably, she secured 22nd in the F45-49 division out of 46 participants and 531st overall out of a total of 1398 participants, demonstrating steady placement throughout the race. Heather showed significant strength between miles 3 and 5, with a standout mile 5 split of 6:09, elevating her standing from 576th to 441st overall. Stuart exhibits consistency, with split paces predominantly between 8:20 and 8:57 min/mile for most of the race. An area to explore further is the pacing strategy in the latter part of the race where a few slower splits, particularly miles 23 to 25, suggest an opportunity for pacing refinement. Heather's marathon performance complements her half-marathon history, indicating strong endurance capabilities. Implementing strategic pace adjustments may yield further improvements.
