Consistent Pace Yields Podium Finish Ervin Mooney executed an impressive race, finishing 3rd overall in the 2025 Las Vegas Marathon's 7.02-mile event. His average pace of 5:53 min/mile reflects a strong performance, especially when compared to his previous personal best of 6:17 min/mile in the 2024 Half Marathon. Notably, Ervin maintained consistent pacing with a highlight split of 5:28 min/mile in the 7th mile segment. He strategically improved his placement from 5th in the first mile to securing 2nd in the male category overall by the second mile, maintaining that position through the finish. A key strength in Ervin's performance was his ability to accelerate towards the end, clocking a quicker split time in the final mile. This consistent improvement from a per-mile pace perspective demonstrates his racing prowess. For future races, maintaining this pacing strategy and balancing effort across splits could further bolster his performance, potentially bringing home more top finishes in competitive events.
