Pacing Consistency and a Strong Finish Hayley showed an impressive blend of consistency and speed during the 2025 Portland Marathon, maintaining a steady pace throughout the half marathon. She started with an 11:50 min/mile and gradually improved her pace, culminating in an impressive final mile of 10:14 min/mile. Notably, her fastest split was also the last mile, demonstrating her ability to finish strong. Her overall time of 2:26:57 placed her 3,392nd out of 5,623 participants. Within her age division (F30-34), she ranked 305th. Mid-race, from miles 5 to 8, she made a significant positional gain, moving from 3,285th to 1,956th place overall during the eighth mile. This surge aligned with her split improvement from an 11:01 pace to a consistent 11:06 min/mile or faster in the concluding miles. For future races, maintaining this late-race momentum from earlier on could markedly enhance overall performance.
