Steady Pace with Room to Grow Janette Portillo participated in the 2025 Phoenix Marathon, completing the half marathon with a total time of 2:51:27, averaging a pace of 13:05 min/mile. Her results positioned her 1015th among female participants and 142nd within the F35-39 division. Janette's race began strong, holding consistent paces around 12:00 min/mile for the first few miles and demonstrating resilience throughout the course. Notably, she significantly improved her placement briefly at the 6-mile split, finishing impressively in 860th place overall at that point. As the race progressed, splits showed a gradual increase in elapsed time per mile, with the 13th mile notably being the slowest at 28:05. To enhance future performance, Janette might focus on maintaining pace consistency, especially during the later miles. This strategy could reduce fatigue and improve overall race time. Continued training with the Slow AF AZ Running Club will likely support her progress for upcoming races.
