Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Adam Charny #21221 Race: 2025 Portland 10K MindRX Group Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Early Pace with Opportunities for Finish Line Gains Adam, representing team Greenery, exhibited a strong start at the 2025 Portland Marathon in the 10K MindRX Group event. His initial splits showcased consistent pacing, beginning with a 10:31 min/mile in the first mile and showing improvement with two consecutive splits of 9:49 min/mile at mile 2 and 3. Watching those early miles, Adam maintained a commendable pace, indicating solid training and pacing strategies at the start. However, there's room to analyze pacing adjustments in the latter half of the race. Despite a promising start, a notable decrease in pace was observed during miles 4 and 5, both completed at 19:13 min/mile, which impacted his overall pace to 13:15 min/mile by the race's end. Mile 6 reflected some recovery with an 11:37 min/mile split. Focus on pacing during middle segments could enhance overall performance. With Adam's promising starting performance, strategically honing in on late-stage pacing can optimize future outcomes.
