Consistent Strides with a Strong Finish Jarom Stringham demonstrated solid pacing throughout the 2025 Phoenix Marathon Half Marathon. Most noticeable were miles 3 and 4, where his pace accelerated to 8:46 min/mile and 8:44 min/mile, respectively. This helped him improve his overall standing, with a significant jump in his division (M30-34) from 100th to 95th. His decision to start with a stable pace of 9:26 min/mile and cleverly build momentum proved effective in maintaining consistent performance. Jarom's final time was 2:03:01, with an average pace of 9:23 min/mile. His overall ranking of 878th out of 2723 shows a commendable performance, especially considering he managed to sustain a mostly uniform pace until the last few miles.

For future races, focus on maintaining consistent pacing in the final stretch could yield improvements.
