Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Chris Laflin #11559 Race: 2025 Portland Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Start with Room to Optimize Chris Laflin started the 2025 Portland Marathon with a steady pace, completing the first mile in 6:46 min/mile. Notably, Chris performed exceptionally well in the fourth and fifth miles, clocking in at 6:34 min/mile, achieving third place in the M40-44 division for those miles. These faster segments highlight Chris's ability to maintain speed early in the race and surge when needed. In the latter stages, there was a noticeable decrease in pace, particularly after mile 20, where splits dropped to an 8:30 min/mile by mile 22. This trend suggests an opportunity to focus on maintaining endurance in longer efforts. Compared to the half marathon in 2023, where the overall pace was 7:07 min/mile, the marathon pace was slightly slower at 7:21 min/mile. Engaging in sustained speedwork or longer tempo runs might help Chris close this gap in future marathons.
