Consistent Pacing with a Strong Finish Edgar Diaz showcased strong pacing at the 2025 Phoenix Marathon, particularly in the latter stages of his 10K event. He started with a steady pace of 9:57 min/mile for the first mile but demonstrated improvement by the end of the second mile, clocking in with a 9:06 split pace. His pacing strategy allowed him to gradually climb the ranks in his division (M35-39) and gender category. By mile six, Edgar was performing at a notably faster pace, completing this segment in 8:20 min/mile, which contributed to his overall elapsed pace of 9:14 min/mile.
