Consistent Effort with Strong Finish Ivana Black demonstrated consistent pacing during the 2025 Phoenix Marathon Half Marathon, finishing with an overall time of 2:16:09 and an average pace of 10:23 min/mile. Ivana ranked 1302nd out of 2723 total participants and secured a spot as 106th in her F25-29 division. Notably, her early pacing was stable, with minimal variation, yet in Split 3, she experienced a temporary slowdown with a 12:14 min/mile pace. Following this, she displayed resilience by improving her pace gradually. In the latter stages, she significantly improved, with Split 13 logged at a strong 8:55 min/mile pace. This strategic acceleration toward the finish contributed positively to her overall standing. Ivana's placement as 557th in the female category reflects her solid performance. Given her stable pacing pattern, refining her mid-race splits could enhance her competitiveness in future races. Continue refining interval training to close gaps in mid-race performance. Keep up the good work!
