Date: Dec. 13, 2025 Participant: Ravi Teja Alla #6014 Race: 2025 Phoenix 10K Distance: 6.2 miles

Consistent Effort with Strategic Mid-Race Recovery Ravi Teja demonstrated an impressive range of pacing strategies in the 2025 Phoenix Marathon 10K, finishing with a total time of 57:08 and an overall pace of 9:13 min/mile. His split times reveal a meaningful progression: he started strong with a 9:23 min/mile pace in the first mile, significantly improved his speed to an 8:18 min/mile in the second mile, and maintained a steady pace around 8:47-8:51 min/mile during the next two miles. Particularly noteworthy is the fifth mile, where Ravi strategically took a slower split at 11:21 min/mile. The decision for a reduced pace in mile five, though it temporarily affected his overall standing, allowed Ravi to recover effectively and bounce back with a quicker pace of 8:40 min/mile in the final mile. This execution of controlled effort shows promise for endurance. Future focus on maintaining speed during recovery phases could be beneficial to enhance overall performance.
