Date: Dec. 13, 2025 Participant: Lindsey Malamud #4894 Race: 2025 Phoenix Half Marathon Distance: 13.1 miles

Consistent Start with Opportunities for Mid-Race Adjustments Lindsey Malamud, representing "The Runnin Dead," started her performance in the 2025 Phoenix Half Marathon with a strong and consistent pace, averaging around 12:57 min/mile for the first four miles. Her initial split times ranged narrowly from 12:51 to 13:05, which reflected her steady approach and effective race-day strategy for maintaining a consistent rhythm. However, as the race progressed beyond the halfway point, her pace gradually decreased, particularly from miles 5 to 11, where the split times varied between 13:49 and 17:11 min/mile. This shift led to an increase in her overall time, resulting in a final time of 3:06:51 and placing her 140th in her division. Focusing on maintaining pace consistency in the later miles could enhance her performance in future races, reducing time loss and ensuring a strong finish.
