Strong Division Finish with Consistent Splits Tyler Rose delivered an impressive performance at the 2025 Portland Marathon. Covering 26.2 miles in 2:44:56, Tyler maintained a steady pace of 6:17 per mile. Notably, he secured 2nd place in the M35-39 division. His starting pace was strong, clocking the first mile in 6:30, and he consistently built upon his momentum, pushing to a remarkable 5:58 split for the penultimate mile. Throughout the race, Tyler displayed consistent pacing, with splits generally hovering around the 6:16 to 6:20 range. There was a noticeable pickup in pace during the latter half of the race, particularly between miles 4 to 5 with consecutive 6:11 miles. While his early miles ranged slightly over 6:30, his ability to finish strong, especially with two sub-6:00 miles at crucial stages, reflects his endurance and race strategy. Emphasizing pacing training might help to bring those early splits more in line with his strong finish.
