Consistent Pace and Strategic Finish Ben Lederer maintained a steady progression in the 2025 Portland Marathon's 10K MindRX Group event. Starting with an 8:51 min/mile pace, he accelerated through each split, culminating in an 8:10 min/mile pace at miles 4 and 5. This consistent pacing was instrumental in achieving an overall time of 52:11, translating to an average pace of 8:25 min/mile. While Ben's finish placed him 24th in his age division (M30-34), his ability to improve upon each split demonstrates a well-executed race strategy. Noteworthy was his strong standing after the mid-race adjustment, indicated by holding steady in his division placing. Focusing on maintaining early race positioning could support even stronger overall and division placements in future races. Great effort representing Legs Miserable!
