Consistent Mid-Pace Maintained Throughout Race Kwanghee Han completed the 2025 Portland Marathon Half Marathon in a total time of 2:49:48, pacing consistently at 12:57 minutes per mile. Highlights of the race include starting with a strong pace of 12:32 in the first mile and maintaining a similar range throughout, with the slowest pace recorded at 13:45 at the 11-mile mark. Kwanghee found significant momentum during the 8th mile, achieving a place of 2333 overall and 1168 in gender, his best standings throughout the event. Comparing to his previous race, a 10K last year, there’s a noticeable difference, as he managed an average pace of 10:40 minutes per mile then. Focusing on pacing strategies could be beneficial towards enhancing endurance over longer distances. Team Bethel Running should consider placing more emphasis on maintaining pace in the later stages of long distance events, as slight increases in pace were observed after 8 miles onwards. Keep up the consistent effort!
