Consistent Pacing Leads to Division Victory Hannah Lavin demonstrated outstanding pacing throughout the 2025 Phoenix Marathon Half Marathon. She started strong with a first mile clocked at a 7:43 pace and progressively improved to hit a 7:06 pace by mile three. Her strategic pacing was evident, maintaining the fastest splits from the second to the fourth mile, where she improved her ranking from 194th place overall to 154th. Despite a tougher split between miles six and seven, her performance remained steady with the ability to regain speed and continue strong. Hannah's endurance paid off, finishing with an overall time of 1:41:52 and an average pace of 7:46 minutes per mile. Most impressive was her first place finish in the F15-18 age division. Although performance slowed slightly in the latter stages of the race, increased speed in the final mile demonstrated her resilience and capability to push through fatigue. Future races could benefit from working on maintaining a consistent pace throughout all splits.
