Consistent Improvement and Strong Middle Splits Avi Peto from Oregon City displayed notable progression in her 10K event at the 2025 Portland Marathon. Avi's pacing improved significantly after the first mile, with her third and fourth-mile pacing at 15:15 min/mile and 14:54 min/mile respectively, representing some of her fastest split times. This boost placed her consistently around the mid-900s in overall standings and mid-500s in gender standings. Notably, she climbed from 71st to 109th position in her division by mile four. The first mile showed a slower start with a pace of 17:39 min/mile. However, the adjustment in subsequent miles is commendable. Maintaining mile five pace in future races could help sustain the improved standings through the final stretch. Understanding how Avi's pace tapered slightly in the final mile at 16:05 min/mile could lead to strategies for stronger finishes. Keep up the great work and continue building on the progress made!
