Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Veronica Figueroa from Tempe, AZ participated in the 2025 Phoenix Marathon Half Marathon, finishing with a total time of 2:09:32. She maintained a consistent pacing strategy, averaging a 9:53 min/mile pace throughout the race. Her performance shows a steady improvement in her pacing after Mile 2, dropping from a 10:14 min/mile pace to a 9:29 min/mile by the final mile. Notably, Mile 12 and Mile 13 saw a return to this quicker pace, indicative of her ability to pick up speed in the later stages of the race. Veronica placed 1084th overall out of 2723 participants, 437th among females, and 71st in her division F35-39. A focused approach on maintaining, or slightly increasing, pace towards the latter stages could prove beneficial. Veronica's consistent pacing is commendable, and there's potential to enhance her performance with targeted speedwork sessions to improve pacing in the latter stage of races.
