Consistent Splits and Strategic Improvements Gregory Preston, at 32, delivered a commendable performance in the 2025 REVEL White Mountains Half Marathon. He maintained a steady pace throughout the race, completing it in 2:09:53 with an average pace of 9:54 min/mile. His strategic improvement in pace is evident as he shifted from a 10:24 min/mile in the first mile to a more consistent sub-10 min/mile pace thereafter. An area to focus on is the fluctuation in pacing during certain miles. For instance, splitting 10:15 min/mile at both the 8th and 11th miles, followed by a slower 10:40 min/mile in the 12th mile. However, the strong finish in the 13th mile at a 9:36 min/mile pace shows an ability to recover and maintain performance. Gregory's placement within his division improved from 29th to 22nd towards the end, which indicates potential for better pacing strategy over longer distances. Overall, strong execution and clear potential for further refinement.
