Consistent Mid-Race Splits Indicate Potential for Faster Finishes Andrew Payne participated in the 2025 Phoenix Marathon Half Marathon, finishing with an elapsed time of 2:01:56 and an overall pace of 9:18 min/mile. His performance shows a steady approach, maintaining a consistent average pace throughout the race, with a notable mid-race resilience evident in his splits. The 6th mile saw a significant improvement in overall placement, moving from 842nd to 346th, which highlights a strong ability to push through the mid-race point. While Andrews pace remained relatively stable, a focus on minimizing the slowest split, particularly the 11th mile which had a pace of 10:21 min/mile, could enhance future performance. Compared to other miles, the 3rd and 4th mile splits with a pace below 9:00 min/mile demonstrate his potential to sustain faster speeds. Improvement on these late-race splits could lead to a time under the two-hour mark, showcasing Andrews capability for faster finishes. Keep building on this solid foundation.
