Consistent Effort, Opportunities for Speed Improvement Mami Kudo completed the 2025 Portland Marathon with an overall time of 5:54:57, maintaining an average pace of 13:32 min/mile over the 26.2 miles. Her initial mile was clocked at 11:12, gradually slowing to 14:23 by mile 4. Pace variations are evident, with mile 6 registering an inconsistent, possibly data error, split pace of -9:-54. Notably, she sped up to finish mile 8 with a stronger pace of 10:41. Her strongest segment, the final mile, was completed at a rapid pace of 4:44, indicating potential for a faster overall time. Mami ranked 150th in her F35-39 division and 976th among female competitors. Mami's splits suggest a tendency for pace decline mid-race, which could benefit from targeted pace management strategies. Considering previous half marathons with significantly faster paces and better placement in division and gender categories, there's an opportunity to ensure more consistent pacing through the entire marathon distance.
