Strong Start, Consistent Leadership Daniel Murphy delivered a noteworthy performance during the 2025 REVEL White Mountains Marathon. He consistently led the field from miles 3 through 17, showcasing exceptional pacing, including impressive miles 4 at 4:40 min/mile and 5 at 5:02 min/mile. His pace expertly balanced speed and endurance as he clocked elapsed paces under 6:00 min/mile for most of the first half of the race. While Daniel began to fall slightly behind after mile 17, he maintained admirable pace consistency, finishing with an overall time of 2:32:38 and an average pace of 5:49 min/mile. Though he placed 3rd overall and in his division, the even pacing in the later miles, specifically mile 25 at 6:26 min/mile, suggests room for adjusting race strategy to sustain speed over the entire course. Training focused on the final miles could enhance stamina further, building on a strong foundation already in place.
