Consistent Effort with Key Late Push Compensates Pace Tino Nguyen demonstrated a steady effort at the 2025 Portland Marathon, finishing in 4:51:07 with an overall pace of 11:06 min/mile. Throughout the race, Tino maintained consistent splits, starting with an identical pace of 10:24 min/mile for the first two miles. A critical shift occurred at mile 3, slowing to 13:28, impacting his placement temporarily. Despite this, Tino's performance stabilized, with a strong effort elevating his division placement as the race progressed, finishing 81st in the M50-54 category. Notably, Tino showed resilience in the final stretch by achieving his fastest split during the last mile at 8:56 min/mile—his quickest pace of the race. This strategic push helped regain some lost ground, illustrating his capability to enhance performance when it counts. Focusing on maintaining or slightly boosting pace consistency between miles 3 and 9 could further strengthen future performances. Overall, Tino’s efforts with the Nike Employee Team were commendable.
