Date: Oct. 5, 2025 Participant: Fabian Lopez #11671 Race: 2025 Portland Marathon Distance: 26.2 miles

Consistent Effort with Notable Speed Variability Fabian Lopez participated in the 2025 Portland Marathon, completing the 26.2-mile course in 3:46:29, with an overall pace of 8:38 min/mile. He placed 659th out of 3445 total participants, and in his division (M30-34), he placed 131. Fabian maintained a relatively steady pacing during the race, as seen in splits like miles 1 through 5, where his pacing varied only slightly between 8:28 min/mile and 7:55 min/mile. There were notable variations in speed towards the latter part of the marathon. Particularly from miles 23 to 25, Fabian slowed down to nearly a 10-minute pace, which impacted his overall time. However, he showed a strong finish with a final mile of 7:55 min/mile. Comparing with his previous half marathons, such as the 2019 Portland Marathon where he recorded a 7:28 min/mile pace, Fabian's endurance and speed could benefit from targeted speed endurance training to enhance late-race performance.
