Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Nolan Douglass #10705 Race: 2025 Portland Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Start, Gradual Slowdown Nolan Douglass maintained a steady pace for much of the 2025 Portland Marathon with an overall time of 4:51:59, covering 26.2 miles. Starting strong, his pace predominantly hovered around 9:50 min/mile for the first half, peaking with a 9:09 min/mile pace during miles 4 and 5. This surge improved his position significantly mid-way, momentarily placing him 93rd in his division. The statistics show a gradual decrease in pace after mile 6, culminating in a 12:57 min/mile pace at mile 18, which saw his division placement drop to 311th. From this data, a focus on sustainable pacing throughout the entire race, especially in the latter half, may help maintain initial gains. Balancing effort distribution could enhance endurance and consistency in future marathons. Overall, maintaining momentum post-mile 6 will be crucial for improving finish times.
