Steady Marathon Pace with Strong Mid-Race Performance Scott Andrew participated in the 2025 Portland Marathon, representing "Run for the fun of it". Notably, he had a strong mid-race performance, clocking significant improvements during miles four and five with paces of 9:51 min/mile. His overall elapsed time was 4:46:01, translating to an average pace of 10:55 min/mile over the 26.2 miles. His positioning in the Men's 40-44 division improved around the fourth mile, reaching his peak division position of 50th at mile four. Although his pace declined towards the latter part of the marathon, going from mid 9-minute to low 13-minute miles, Scott consistently adjusted his strategy, contributing to his impressive effort. In future races, consider patterning early mile strategies after the strong pace seen in the mid-race miles. Continue to focus on pacing in the latter miles for optimal performance.
