Consistent Performance with Strategic Recovery Kristian Oarde participated in the 2025 Phoenix Marathon's 10K event, representing The People's League. The pacing strategy was generally consistent, with an overall time of 52:52 and an average pace of 8:31 minutes per mile. Notably, Kristian showed impressive acceleration between the first and second miles, improving from an 8:13 min/mile to a faster 7:55 min/mile pace. This reflects a strong start and a capacity to increase speed efficiently early in the race. One key observation is the 10:03 min/mile recorded in the fifth mile, which could indicate a tactical recovery phase. Kristian regrouped effectively after this slower segment, finishing with an improved 8:11 min/mile in the final mile. Overall, maintaining a relatively consistent performance through various splits suggests endurance capacity and strategic pacing. Exploring techniques for sustaining pace during longer segments might enhance future results and maintain placement within the M40-44 division.
