Consistent Early Pace and Strong Middle Performance Jason maintained a steady pace early in the race with the first two miles at an even 10:55 min/mile pace. Notably, he picked up speed in the third mile with a 9:46 min/mile, showing significant improvement. The mid-race splits indicate a solid performance with mile 4 being clocked at a 10:06 pace. During this stretch, Jason managed to ascend in rankings within his division to 69th place. The latter part of the race presented more variability. Notably, mile 8 was a stronger push with a split time of 10:22. However, there was a notable slow down after, particularly in mile 11 and 12, where paces were 13:58 and 13:46 min/mile, respectively. While Jason completed the half marathon with an overall time of 2:28:31, future strategies could focus on maintaining the middle race pacing strength through the final miles. Keep focusing on your consistent middle miles; they show your potential.
