Sustained Effort with Notable Improvements Mark Minia completed the 2025 Las Vegas Half Marathon with an official time of 2:45:14, maintaining an average pace of 12:36 min/mile over the 13.1-mile course. Noteworthy was his consistent improvement compared to the previous year, cutting down his pace from 13:47 min/mile to 12:36 min/mile, over a difference in group size. Mark showed strength in the first half, with his initial four miles averaging under 11 minutes per mile, peaking at 10:19 min/mile at mile 3. The latter half saw a gradual slowdown, with a notable challenge beginning around mile 7, with splits clocking over 13 minutes per mile. Mark maintained resilience through the slower stages, especially between miles 10 and 13, where the pace was between 13:38 and 14:31 min/mile. Future strategies could include a focus on sustaining pacing consistency and fatigue management in the latter stages to enhance overall performance. Keep up the good work with these small yet notable improvements.
