Progressive Start with Consistent Effort Rohan's performance at the 2025 Portland Marathon showed a well-paced start, maintaining a pace that improved from an initial 9:03 min/mile to 8:39 min/mile by mile 7. Notably, Rohan demonstrated consistent pacing with a strong mid-section, highlighting a disciplined and strategic approach to the race. The split time at mile 7 of 8:24 suggests a peak performance phase, demonstrating potential for maintaining this pace in future events for longer stretches. The latter part of the race reflected a deceleration, with the pace slowing to 12:11 min/mile by mile 21. The final overall time was 4:26:30, with an average pace of 10:10 min/mile. While the last segments of the marathon showed a reduced pace, Rohan's capacity to manage the early and middle segment paces effectively is promising. Going forward, focusing on endurance beyond mile 20 could enhance overall performance, capitalizing on the consistent pace foundation already laid.
