Consistent Start with Notable Finish Surge Stephen Butler's initial pacing in the 2025 Phoenix Marathon Half Marathon demonstrated strong consistency. At Mile 1, he clocked an 11:31 min/mile pace, gradually speeding up to a 10:44 min/mile pace by Mile 4. This progression positioned him well, climbing up from 1800th to 1669th in overall placement and improving within the male 55-59 age division from 44th to 45th. These steady splits highlight a focused and controlled start. Stephen's strategy showed room for maintaining pace in the latter miles, as Mile 8 and Mile 11 saw a noticeable deceleration, hitting 13:33 and 14:54 min/mile respectively. However, his ability to rebound is evident in the final mile with a surge to a 14:06 min/mile pace, significantly improving his overall position to 582 and division placement to 19th. Focusing on sustaining momentum in mid-race could optimize future performance and capitalize on his evident finishing strength.
