Consistent Performance with Strong Splits Throughout Stirling Peters displayed consistent pacing at the 2025 Phoenix Marathon, finishing with an overall time of 2:39:45. Maintaining an average pace of 6:05 min/mile, Peters demonstrated solid endurance and speed over the 26.2-mile course. Noteworthy among his splits were the impressive sub-6-minute miles achieved early in the race, including the fastest at 5:22 min/mile during the first mile and 5:47 min/mile at mile six. Such early efforts placed Peters temporarily within the top 5 overall and first in his M25-29 division during the initial phase. While Peters' overall standing adjusted during the race, with a final overall placement of 14th out of 2712 participants, he maintained a steady range of placements within his division, ultimately finishing 4th. An area that could be evaluated further is the pacing between miles 18 and 19, where there was a slight slowdown. This consistency shows strong potential, making him a key athlete for future competitions.
