Progressive Pacing with Strong Recovery Nataly demonstrated varied pacing throughout the 2025 Portland Marathon 10K MindRX Group event, resulting in an overall time of 1:16:28 and an average pace of 12:20 min/mile. Starting with a solid first mile at a 13:13 min/mile pace, she experienced a slowdown in the second mile at 18:06 min/mile. However, she successfully recovered her pace in subsequent miles, particularly strong in the fourth (10:16 min/mile) and fifth miles, maintaining this pace effectively. Strategically, Nataly showed an aptitude for improving pace after slower patches, as evidenced by the return to a 10:16 min/mile split in the fourth and fifth miles. To enhance future performances, she may focus on maintaining consistent paces throughout earlier segments to avoid significant drop-offs.
