Steady Performance with Strong Mid-Race Split Andrew Riffel from Las Vegas, NV ran a marathon with an overall time of 3:46:19, maintaining an average pace of 8:38 min/mile. While Andrew held steady throughout, his strongest split was mile 5 with a pace of 5:53 min/mile, significantly quicker compared to an overall pace. This indicates strong potential for improving speed endurance over long distances. In terms of placement, Andrew was 374th overall out of 1,398 participants, and 24th in his division of M25-29. His consistent pacing suggests a solid endurance basis, but there's a noticeable drop in pace during the final miles, highlighted by a 10:48 min/mile at mile 25. Focusing on strategies to maintain pace in the final stages could significantly enhance overall performance. Keep up the great work with Championship Runners, Andrew!
