Consistent Early Splits with Room for Strategic Adjustments Abigail Armstrong started with strong and consistent early splits, maintaining an 8:32 min/mile pace for the first two miles. As the race progressed, there was a noticeable shift, with some miles averaging around 9:16 min/mile. After the 21st mile, she showed resilience, maintaining a sub-10-minute pace despite fatigue setting in with a final mile time of 9:14. Overall, maintaining a median pace of 9:21 min/mile for the marathon distance is a solid effort. A possible area for improvement lies in sustaining the sub-9-minute paces witnessed in the early stages throughout the entire marathon. It is suggested that strategic pacing training could help achieve a more consistent pace, potentially improving her overall time. Abigail completed the Portland Marathon with a time of 4:05:05, placing her 62nd in her division. This performance is commendable and offers valuable insights for future races.
