Consistent Start with a Strong Finish Roopa Yerramilli displayed a strong opening in the 10K MindRX Group at the 2025 Portland Marathon with her initial mile paced at 14:25 min/mile. Maintaining a solid middle section despite a slight variation in pace, Roopa's splits reveal remarkable consistency. Notably, she showed impressive recovery in miles four and five with matched split times of 14:46 min/mile. This return to a faster pace demonstrates strategic pacing and stamina, crucial skills for long-distance running. Her overall elapsed time was 1:34:30 with an average pace of 15:14 min/mile. Compared to the previous year’s performance, there's potential to regain the faster pace achieved in the 2024 Portland Marathon. Roopa's earlier rank of 682 overall indicates effective pacing back then. Her placement within her division and overall could be improved with targeted speed work training, allowing Roopa to recapture past performance levels and surpass them in future races. Keep refining those final splits, aiming to reduce instances of pacing drop-offs.
