Consistent Performance with a Strong Division Finish Ryan Hansen displayed impressive consistency during the 2025 Phoenix Marathon. His initial pace of 5:50 min/mile set a strong foundation, and he maintained an average pace close to this throughout the race. Notably, he achieved his fastest split of 5:50 min/mile at both 1 mile and 13 miles, reflecting a well-measured effort. Effective pacing helped him secure a 4th place finish in his M30-34 division and 16th place overall among 2712 participants. Although Ryan's pace slowed slightly after the 23rd mile with splits exceeding 6:29, his overall performance remained robust, completing the 26.2 miles in 2:40:57. A key focus for future races could be maintaining early pace consistency in the later miles, perhaps by gradually adjusting pacing during initial miles to conserve energy for a strong finish. Nonetheless, his achievement showcases strong preparation and execution in a competitive field.
